@jeffriggle/bison v2.0.29

bison

A JSON to binary tool. This tool takes in JSON and converts it to a binary structure to save some bytes. This library is intended to serialize a JSON object similar to how you might expect with something like JSON.stringify.

Installing

npm i @jeffriggle/bison

Basic usage

const { encode, decode } = require('@jeffriggle/bison/cjs/index')

const jsonObject = {
    hello: 'World',
    num: 42,
    required: false
    nested: {
        foo: 'bar',
        arr: [42, 15, 'baz']
    }
}

const encoded = encode(jsonObject)
console.log(encoded) // binary structure.
const decoded = decode(encoded)
console.log(decoded) // original object.

Examples

Initial testing

All testing has been done on a local development machine, results may vary. To run the tests yourself use the npm run perf:nano through npm run perf:large commands provided by this package.

Encoding

Basic encoding in this case is using a very simple approach

const encoded = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(obj))

Decoding

Basic decoding in this case is using a very simple approach

const decoded = JSON.parse(buff.toString('utf8'))

Totals

Time differences are Basic - Bison (positive numbers are improvements)
