unhal

Take JSON in HAL format, and canonize it back to a normal JSON object, without the _links and _embedded properties. See http://stateless.co/hal_specification.html for details.

As a command-line tool

Install with npm install -g unhal and then you can pipe JSON through it as a command.

unhal < test.json

As a library

const unhal = require('unhal')

const json = {
  _links: "this will be removed"
  _embedded: {
    foo: "this will be hoisted"
  }
}

const result = unhal(json)

This should result in:

{
  foo: "this will be hoisted"
}
