map2json v1.0.1

map2json

Convert a JS Map to a JS Object. The Map data structure gives developers a handful of different, and often useful features in comparison to a plain Object. For a deeper dive into the Object vs. Map comparison, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map#Objects_and_maps_compared.

Installation: $ npm i --save map2json

Example Code:

$ const map2json = require('map2json');
$ const anonFnc = () => {console.log('fnc called')};
$ const inputMap = new Map([[1, ['hello', 'world']], ['fnc', anonFnc]]);
$ const objFromMap = map2json(inputMap);
$ console.log(objFromMap)
$ { '1': [ 'hello', 'world' ], fnc: [Function: anonFnc] }

Note: This package does not provide a 2-way data conversion. It only transforms a Map into an Object. For example, this could be useful for manipulating data within a Map while outputting JSON to a REST API.
