# @push.rocks/smartjson
|
|
typed json handlers
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
To install `@push.rocks/smartjson`, you can use npm or yarn as follows:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
npm install @push.rocks/smartjson --save
|
|
# or using yarn
|
|
yarn add @push.rocks/smartjson
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
`@push.rocks/smartjson` offers typed JSON handling, including features like folding and enfolding classes from JSON, JSON parsing with support for buffers, and comparison of JSON objects for equality. This guide will walk through various use cases and scenarios to effectively utilize `@push.rocks/smartjson` in your projects.
|
|
|
|
### Basic Import
|
|
|
|
First, make sure to import the module:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import * as smartjson from '@push.rocks/smartjson';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parsing and Stringifying JSON
|
|
|
|
- **Parsing JSON Strings:**
|
|
|
|
`smartjson` enhances JSON parsing by supporting JavaScript's typed arrays, particularly with `Buffer` handling.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const jsonString = '{"type":"Buffer","data":[116,101,115,116]}';
|
|
const parsedObject = smartjson.parse(jsonString);
|
|
console.log(parsedObject); // Output will be based on the content of jsonString
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **Stringifying Objects:**
|
|
|
|
`@push.rocks/smartjson` provides a `stringify` function that can convert JavaScript objects into JSON strings, with special handling for `Buffer` objects.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const myObject = {
|
|
exampleBuffer: new Uint8Array([116, 101, 115, 116])
|
|
};
|
|
const jsonString = smartjson.stringify(myObject);
|
|
console.log(jsonString); // Will include `exampleBuffer` encoded in a special format
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Working with Base64 Encoded JSON
|
|
|
|
For cases where JSON strings are encoded in base64 format, `smartjson` offers methods to encode and decode these strings transparently.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const objectToEncode = { hello: 'world' };
|
|
const base64EncodedJson = smartjson.stringifyBase64(objectToEncode);
|
|
console.log(base64EncodedJson); // Encoded JSON string
|
|
|
|
const decodedObject = smartjson.parseBase64(base64EncodedJson);
|
|
console.log(decodedObject); // Original object
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Folding and Enfolding Classes
|
|
|
|
`@push.rocks/smartjson` allows you to fold (serialize) and enfold (deserialize) class instances to and from JSON. This is particularly useful when working with typed objects and you need to maintain type integrity across serialization.
|
|
|
|
- **Defining a Foldable Class:**
|
|
|
|
Decorate properties that should be included in JSON with `@smartjson.foldDec()`.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { Smartjson, foldDec } from '@push.rocks/smartjson';
|
|
|
|
class MyDataModel extends Smartjson {
|
|
@foldDec() public someProperty: string = 'default';
|
|
|
|
constructor(public id: number, someProperty?: string) {
|
|
super();
|
|
if (someProperty) this.someProperty = someProperty;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **Folding and Enfolding Instances:**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const instance = new MyDataModel(1, 'value');
|
|
const folded = instance.foldToJson(); // Serialize to JSON
|
|
console.log(folded);
|
|
|
|
const enfoldedInstance = MyDataModel.enfoldFromJson(folded); // Deserialize back to instance
|
|
console.log(enfoldedInstance);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Deep Comparison
|
|
|
|
`@push.rocks/smartjson` enables deep comparison of objects to determine if they are equivalent.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const obj1 = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 }};
|
|
const obj2 = { a: 1, b: { c: 2 }};
|
|
|
|
const isEqual = smartjson.deepEqualObjects(obj1, obj2);
|
|
console.log(isEqual); // true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Handling Buffers and Typed Arrays
|
|
|
|
`smartjson` transparently handles JavaScript's `Buffer` and Typed Arrays during JSON serialization, making it effortless to work with binary data in JSON format.
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const buffer = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]);
|
|
const objWithBuffer = { key: buffer };
|
|
const serialized = smartjson.stringify(objWithBuffer);
|
|
|
|
const deserialized = smartjson.parse(serialized);
|
|
console.log(deserialized.key); // Instance of Uint8Array or Buffer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In addition to these features, `@push.rocks/smartjson` supports efficient base64 encoding/decoding, deep object comparison, and JSON Lines parsing, making it a versatile library for dealing with JSON in TypeScript projects.
