jDad

A javascript serialization/deserialization library similar to JSON but with following extended features:

• Support circular reference
• Support Date object
• Support RegExp object
• Support Buffer/Binary object
• Support function type object
• Escape HTML charaters and JavaScript line terminators (see serialize-javascript)

All the above additional features are optional and could be able to enable/disable during serialization and/or deserialization.

API

jDad.stringify(obj, options):

• Avaliable options
• buffer:
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.
  • 'string' Buffer will be converted to their string representation e.g. '<Buffer 50>'
• cycle
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.
• date:
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.
• function

  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.

  • 'string' Function will be converted to their string representation e.g. 'function() {}'.

  • 'object' Function will be converted to their object representation e.g.

    '{ "type": "Function", "function": "function() {}"}'.

• regexp:
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.
  • 'string' RegExp will be converted to their string representation e.g. '/(ab|cd)/gm/'.
• safe - the unsafe characters should be replaced by their Unicode counterparts.
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.

jDad.parse(str, options):

Following options will only work when their corresponding stringify options are true.

• options
• buffer:
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.
  • 'string' Buffer will be converted to their string representation e.g. '<Buffer 50>'
• decycle
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.
• date:
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.
  • 'string' Date will be converted to their ISO string representation.
• function
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.
  • 'string' Function will be converted to their string representation e.g. 'function() {}'.
• regexp:
  • Boolean true/false to turn on and off the feature. Default false.
  • 'string' RegExp will be converted to their string representation e.g. '/(ab|cd)/gm/'.
