Vilanova

DISCLAIMER: This library is still at early development, so use it at your own risk!

JSON stringify and parse where transformations for types can be defined in a pluggable way in Node.js.

By default, it is able to stringify and parse objects that contains BigInt numbers.

Installation

npm install vilanova

Example of use

const Vilanova = require('vilanova');

const obj = { id: 1, name: 'name', value: 123456789012345678901234567890n };
const str = Vilanova.stringify(obj);
const newObj = Vilanova.parse(str);

Using CircularJSON

Vilanova allows you to use your own stringify and parse functions. One of the most used is CircularJSON.

const CircularJSON = require('circular-json');
const Vilanova = require('vilanova');

const obj = { id: 1, name: 'name', value: 123456789012345678901234567890n };
const str = Vilanova.stringify(obj, CircularJSON.strinfigy);
const newObj = Vilanova.parse(str, CircularJSON.parse);

Adding custom types

To add a custom type, you can use Vilanova.addType method. You must provide the name of the type, the reviver function and the replacer function. The reviver function should always return an string that starts with #<type>:, where <type> should be an string where it's lower case is the name of the type that you're adding. The replacer is the way to create the target object from the string. Example:

Vilanova.addType('BigInt', value => `#BigInt:${value}`, value => BigInt(value));

Also, you must rewrite the Vilanova.getType method to recognize the type. The type recognition is done in one function instead of a function per type due to performance, so only one function is launched to recognize the type given a value.
