stringify-condense

This package pretty-formats JSON in a ways that improve list readability. Example,

import stringify from './stringify-condense.js'

stringify([
  ['users', [
    ['user', ['fred', 1, '3928']],
    ['user', ['jane', 2, '9271']],
    ['user', ['joan', 3, '9917']]
  ]]
])
// [
//   ["users", [
//     ["user", ["fred", 1, "3928"]],
//     ["user", ["jane", 2, "9271"]],
//     ["user", ["joan", 3, "9917"]]
//   ]]
// ]

Lists have many benefits over objects including; They are parsed in more predictable ways across different languages and runtimes. They hold positional data. They are more compact. In cases that do not require map-like data, lists provide lookup access that is programmatically faster and easier.

This package uses regular-expressions to re-stringify data. Please report any edge-cases where results are found to be incorrect.
