gehry.js

gehry.js is a micro library that converts decomposes (deconstructs) a hierarchical object into an array of objects containing primitive properties only. I can also reconstruct the original object and it preserves circular references.

Name

It's named after after the deconstructivist architect Frank Gehry.

Features

• works with plain old javascript objects (and arrays)
• does not re-instantiate objects (but it may in the future)
• does preserve objects containing cycles

Methods

• teleporter.flatten(obj): returns an array of flattened objects
• teleporter.unflatten(flattenedObjectsArray): returns a copy of the original object
