A simple library to compress your Json size

By Muhammad Abdullah Qamar @ QNAR-Dev

A simple library , can be used to

• compress your DB size

• increase data transfer speed

• less network bandwidth consumption

Features

• get aliases for a key

• get key for an aliases

• convert object to keys (which is previously converted to aliases [ as keys ] )

• convert object to aliases

Installation

npm install json-key-aliases

Usage

First Thing First

//initialize library with a prototype object OR a json file 
//prototype object is like schema 
//see an example in prototype.json file
const { initialize } = require('json-key-aliases');
const prototype = require('./prototype.json');
initialize(prototype);

// do stuff
....

Then you can use convertObjectToAliases() to convert the object's key to aliases

Returns an object with keys converted to aliases

const { initialize, convertObjectToAliases } = require('json-key-aliases');
.....
...

const convertedObject  = convertObjectToAliases(collection, object)

and when you want the converted object in it's original form use convertObjectToKeys()

Returns an object with keys converted to original keys from aliases

const { initialize, convertObjectToKeys } = require('json-key-aliases');
.....
...

const originalObject  = convertObjectToKeys(collection, object)

.......MORE TO COME ........ I'll write the remainig docs when i get some free time Please refer to the example.js for a basic usage example

Enjoy !
