Deterministic `JSON.stringify()` - a faster version of [@substack](https://github.com/substack)'s json-stable-strigify without [jsonify](https://github.com/substack/jsonify).

You can also pass in a custom comparison function.

# example
|
11
|
|
12
|
``` js
|
13
|
var stringify = require('fast-json-stable-stringify');
|
14
|
var obj = { c: 8, b: [{z:6,y:5,x:4},7], a: 3 };
|
15
|
console.log(stringify(obj));
|
16
|
```
|
17
|
|
18
|
output:
|
19
|
|
20
|
```
|
21
|
{"a":3,"b":[{"x":4,"y":5,"z":6},7],"c":8}
|
22
|
```
|

# methods
|
26
|
|
27
|
``` js
|
28
|
var stringify = require('fast-json-stable-stringify')
|
29
|
```
|
30
|
|
31
|
## var str = stringify(obj, opts)
|
32
|
|
33
|
Return a deterministic stringified string `str` from the object `obj`.
|
34
|
|
35
|
|
36
|
## options
|
37
|
|
38
|
### cmp
|
39
|
|
40
|
If `opts` is given, you can supply an `opts.cmp` to have a custom comparison
|
41
|
function for object keys. Your function `opts.cmp` is called with these
|
42
|
parameters:
|
43
|
|
44
|
``` js
|
45
|
opts.cmp({ key: akey, value: avalue }, { key: bkey, value: bvalue })
|
46
|
```
|
47
|
|
48
|
For example, to sort on the object key names in reverse order you could write:
|
49
|
|
50
|
``` js
|
51
|
var stringify = require('fast-json-stable-stringify');
|
52
|
|
53
|
var obj = { c: 8, b: [{z:6,y:5,x:4},7], a: 3 };
|
54
|
var s = stringify(obj, function (a, b) {
|
55
|
return a.key < b.key ? 1 : -1;
|
56
|
});
|
57
|
console.log(s);
|
58
|
```
|
59
|
|
60
|
which results in the output string:
|
61
|
|
62
|
```
|
63
|
{"c":8,"b":[{"z":6,"y":5,"x":4},7],"a":3}
|
64
|
```
|
65
|
|
66
|
Or if you wanted to sort on the object values in reverse order, you could write:
|
67
|
|
68
|
```
|
69
|
var stringify = require('fast-json-stable-stringify');
|
70
|
|
71
|
var obj = { d: 6, c: 5, b: [{z:3,y:2,x:1},9], a: 10 };
|
72
|
var s = stringify(obj, function (a, b) {
|
73
|
return a.value < b.value ? 1 : -1;
|
74
|
});
|
75
|
console.log(s);
|
76
|
```
|
77
|
|
78
|
which outputs:
|
79
|
|
80
|
```
|
81
|
{"d":6,"c":5,"b":[{"z":3,"y":2,"x":1},9],"a":10}
|
82
|
```
|
83
|
|
84
|
### cycles
|
85
|
|
86
|
Pass `true` in `opts.cycles` to stringify circular property as `__cycle__` - the result will not be a valid JSON string in this case.
|
87
|
|
88
|
TypeError will be thrown in case of circular object without this option.
