Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Drop in replacement for JSON that standardizes Array.toJSON and Date.toJSON

Readme

json-bourne

js-standard-style

Codeship Status for qubitproducts/json-bourne

Normalizes the JavaScript JSON API against overwritten Array.prototype.toJSON and IE8's unstandardized version of Date.prototype.toJSON.

Advantages over JSON 3

  • Much smaller, only a few lines rather than 4KB
  • Uses native stringify and parse methods
  • Runs much quicker on older browsers

Known issues

  • Does not protect against all monkeypatching
  • Can be slower at stringifying on newer browsers (see Benchmarks)
  • Not compatible with IE7 or below

Installation

$ npm install --save json-bourne

Motivation

JSON Bourne is intended for use in code that you'll execute on websites you don't control. Such websites can break the native JSON.stringify implementation by changing Array.prototype.toJSON, specifically if they use prototype.js version 1.6 or under. JSON Bourne also normalizes Date.prototype.toJSON, correcting the unstandard implementation for IE8. Any changes to prototypes are restored immediately after stringifying.

Usage

JSON Bourne is a drop in replacement for JSON, replicating the standard parse and stringify methods exactly.

var JSON = require('json-bourne')

console.log(JSON.parse('{"bourne": "legacy"}'))
// Logs { bourne: "legacy" }

console.log(JSON.stringify({"bourne": "ultimatum"}))
// Logs { "bourne": "ultimatum" }

Compatibility

Tested on IE8+, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari.
