JSON functions that can convert buffers!
JSON mangles buffers by converting to an array... which isn't helpful. json-buffers converts to base64 instead, and deconverts base64 to a buffer.
var JSONB = require('json-buffer')
var Buffer = require('buffer').Buffer
var str = JSONB.stringify(Buffer.from('hello there!'))
console.log(JSONB.parse(str)) //GET a BUFFER backMIT
