const Compress = require('compress-object');
const flattened = ['Gabriel J. Csapo', 22, 'Male', [], ['PayPal', 'Software Engineer']];
const compressor = new Compress({
    name: '',
    age: 0,
    gender: '',
    friends: [],
    job: {
        employer: '',
        position: ''
    }
});

const flattenAgain = compressor.serialize(object);
