23 | 24 | // do stuff... 25 | 26 | // And then unpack the packed 27 | var json = jsonpack.unpack(packed); 28 | ``` 29 | 30 | ## Installation 31 | 32 | **jsonpack** can be installed via [cpm][cpm], [volo][volo] or [npm][npm], or simply [downloaded][download]. 33 | 34 | Via cpm: 35 | 36 | ```bash 37 | $ cpm install jsonpack 38 | ``` 39 | 40 | Via volo: 41 | 42 | ```bash 43 | $ volo add sapienlab/jsonpack 44 | ``` 45 | 46 | Via npm: 47 | 48 | ```bash 49 | $ npm install jsonpack 50 | ``` 51 | 52 | ## API 53 | 54 | ### Attributes 55 | 56 | #### jsonpack.JSON 57 | A object that implements the JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify() members. 58 | By default is the native JSON implemented in ECMAscript 5. 59 | 60 | ### Members 61 | 62 | #### jsonpack.pack(json, options) 63 | Retrieve a packed representation of the json 64 | 65 | ** Parameters ** 66 | 67 | * json {Object|string}: A valid JSON Object or their string representation 68 | * parameters {[Object]}: A optional object 69 | * verbose (devault is false): If is true, print a log message to the console at each step of packing 70 | * example: `jsonpack.pack(json, { verbose: true });` packs with verbose only 71 | * debug {[boolean=false]}: If is true, return a object with the internal representation of the 72 | parser dictionary and the AST 73 | * example: `jsonpack.pack(json, { debug: true });` packs with debug only 74 | 75 | ** Returns:** 76 | 77 | * string: the packed string representation of the data 78 | * object: if parameters.debug is true 79 | 80 | ##### Examples 81 | 82 | * Example 1: Node.js 83 | 84 | ```javascript 85 | // Example in node.js, read a file with JSON content and save another file 86 | // with the packed representation of that JSON 87 | var jsonpack = require('jsonpack/main'), 88 | fs = require('fs'); 89 | 90 | // read a file called myBigJSON.json and execute with 91 | // jsonContent as the content of the file 92 | fs.readFile('../data/bigData.json', 'utf8', function(error, jsonContent) { 93 | 94 | // packed now is a string with the packed version of jsonContent 95 | var packed = jsonpack.pack(jsonContent); 96 | 97 | // save the packed in a file 98 | fs.writeFile('../data/packed.txt', packed); 99 | 100 | }); 101 | ``` 102 | 103 | * Example 2: Browser/Node.js with AMD 104 | 105 | ```javascript 106 | require(['jsonpack', 'text!../data/bigData.json'], function(jsonpack, jsonContent) { 107 | 108 | // packed the data 109 | var packed = jsonpack.pack(jsonContent); 110 | 111 | // Do stuff with the packed string 112 | console.log(packed); 113 | }); 114 | ``` 115 | 116 | * Example 3: Browser 117 | 118 | ```html 119 | 149 | ``` 150 | 151 | #### jsonpack.unpack(packed, options) 152 | 153 | Unpack the data in the *packed* parameter 154 | 155 | ** Parameters ** 156 | 157 | * packed {string} : The result of call jsonpack.packed(...) 158 | * options {[Object]}: Optional object 159 | * verbose (default: false) print a log message to the console at each step of packing 160 | 161 | ** Return: ** Object, the clone of the original JSON 162 | 163 | ##### Examples 164 | 165 | * Example 1: Node.js 166 | 167 | ```javascript 168 | // Example in node.js, read a file with packed content and save another file 169 | // with the string representation of the original JSON 170 | var jsonpack = require('jsonpack/main'), 171 | fs = require('fs');

179 | 180 | // save the JSON in a file. data is a Javascript Object, so must be 181 | // stringifed (and pretty print the JSON with 2 space indents). 182 | fs.writeFile('../data/unpacked.json', JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)); 183 | 184 | }); 185 | ``` 186 | 187 | * Example 2: Browser/Node.js with AMD 188 | 189 | ```javascript 190 | require(['jsonpack', 'text!../data/packed'], function(jsonpack, packed) { 191 | 192 | // unpacked the data 193 | // json now is a clone of the original JSON 194 | var json = jsonpack.unpack(packed); 195 | 196 | // Do stuff with the JavaScript object 197 | console.log(json); 198 | }); 199 | 200 | ``` 201 | 202 | * Example 3: Browser 203 | 204 | ```html 205 | 215 | ``` 216 | 217 | ## FAQ 218 | ### This library is stable? 219 | Yes, was tested in Node.js, Chrome and Firefox. 220 | 221 | ### How to contribute? 222 | I'm not a native English speaker, so create a issue or better a pull request for all of my grammatical errors :) 223 | As well, if you have a code issue or suggestion, create a issue, Thanks! 224 | 225 | ### What about the icon? 226 | The icon is a generic (LGPL) icon by David Vignoni - http://www.icon-king.com/ 227 | 228 | ## LICENCE 229 | 230 | The MIT License (MIT) 231 | Copyright (c) 2013 Rodrigo González, Sapienlab 232 | 233 | Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: 234 | 235 | The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. 236 | 237 | THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
