json-multiline-strings
One shortcoming of JSON is the lack of multiline support. This module will split/join multiline strings to string arrays which is more readable.
EXAMPLE
Convert to multiline variant:
var input = {
"foo": "bar",
"long": "text with\nseveral\nline breaks"
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(jsonMultilineStrings.split(input), null, ' '))
{
"foo": "bar",
"long": [
"text with",
"several",
"line breaks"
]
}
Convert back to original json:
var input = {
"foo": "bar",
"long": [
"text with",
"several",
"line breaks"
]
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(jsonMultilineStrings.join(input), null, ' '))
{
"foo": "bar",
"long": "text with\nseveral\nline breaks"
}
API
jsonMultilineStrings.split(data, options) resp. jsonMultilineStringsSplit(data, options)
Processes input data recursively and convert all multiline strings to string arrays.
Options:
- exclude: Exclude the following paths from modifications. Give an array of string arrays, e.g. [ [ 'foo', 'bar' ], [ 'test' ] ]. This would not modify the paths 'foo/bar' and 'test'.
jsonMultilineStrings.join(data, options) resp. jsonMultilineStringsJoin(data, options)
Processes input data recursively and convert all string arrays to multiline strings.
Options:
- exclude: Exclude the following paths from modifications. Give an array of string arrays, e.g. [ [ 'foo', 'bar' ], [ 'test' ] ]. This would not modify the paths 'foo/bar' and 'test'.
