yea-stringify

DESCRIPTION

Yet another JSON.stringify implementation. Some extra features are available. It can remove the properties by the replacer function and render the circular reference objects.

Repositories

OPTIONS

Following options are available to change the bahavior. For detail, see the sample 'Change the rendering options'.

option Description Default setting
eliminate-undefined The value of undefined will be eliminated false
eliminate-recursive The circular referencing object will be eliminated false
show-recursive-reference The original object path that is circular referenced will be shown true
show-function The function object apears in list false
show-index The index of array apears as comment false
show-length The length of array or object's keys apear as comment false
sort-keys The keys of object are sorted by the name false

Using replacer function's extra parameter

Replacer function accepts an extra 3rd parameter. It is an object that contains following keys to notify the item status or manipurate the behavior.

Property Description
recursive This indicates the value is circular referencing the other object
eliminate If the replacer set this true, the key and value will not be listed

For detail, see the sample 'Using replacer function'.

SAMPLE

Stringify the circular referencing object

This can stringify the object having circular reference member like global.

sample/circular-ref.js

(function() {
    "use strict";
    const JSON_stringify = require("yea-stringify");
    var global_object = new Function("return this")();
    console.log("global =", JSON_stringify(global_object, null, 4));
}());

outputs:

$ node sample/circular-ref.js
global = {
    "global": { /* RECURSIVE REFERENCE to $(ROOT) */ },
    "process": {
        "title": "....",
        "version": "v4.4.1",
        "moduleLoadList": [
            "Binding contextify",
            "Binding natives",
            "NativeModule events",
            "NativeModule buffer",
            "Binding buffer",

            .
            .
            .

        "stdin": {
            "_connecting": false,
            "_hadError": false,
            "_handle": {
                "_externalStream": {},
                "fd": -1,
                "writeQueueSize": 0,
                "owner": { /* RECURSIVE REFERENCE to $(ROOT).process */ },
                "reading": false
            },

By default, the circular reference objects are rendered as empty object with comment. This can be changed by option.

Change the rendering options

sample/change-opts.js

(function() {
    "use strict";
    const JSON_stringify = require("yea-stringify");
    JSON_stringify.setOption({
        "eliminate-undefined": false,
        "eliminate-recursive": false,
        "show-recursive-reference": true,
        "show-function": true,
        "show-index" : true,
        "show-length" : true,
        "sort-keys" : true
    });
    var obj = new Function("return this")();
    console.log("global =", JSON_stringify(obj, null, 4));
}());

outputs:

$ node sample/change-opts.js
global = { /* 24 keys */
    "Buffer": function(){},
    "COUNTER_HTTP_CLIENT_REQUEST": function(){},
    "COUNTER_HTTP_CLIENT_RESPONSE": function(){},
    "COUNTER_HTTP_SERVER_REQUEST": function(){},

                .
                .
                .

    "root": { /* RECURSIVE REFERENCE to $(ROOT) */ },
    "setImmediate": function(){},
    "setInterval": function(){},
    "setTimeout": function(){}
}

Using replacer function

In replacer, extra option parameter is available.

sample/use-replacer.js

(function() {
    "use strict";
    const JSON_stringify = require("yea-stringify").setOption({
        "show-length" : true,
    });
    var obj = new Function("return this")();
    var replacer = function(key, value, opt) {
        if(opt) {
            // eliminate primitive properties.
            if(value == null || typeof(value) != "object") {
                opt.eliminate = true;
                return undefined;
            }
        }
        return value;
    };
    console.log("global =", JSON_stringify(obj, replacer, 4));
}());

outputs:
