Rescheme Build Status npm version Coverage Status

JSON Rescheme project will help you change any JSON structure using declarative syntax.

Install

$ npm install rescheme --save

Usage

var rescheme = require('rescheme');
var output_json = rescheme(original_json, scheme_json);

How it works ?

  1. Give it a JSON original_json
  2. Define in what scheme you want your data back extracted from the original JSON scheme_json
  3. Get new JSON in your defined scheme output_json

Lets see some examples

We will use this JSON:

{
    book:  {
        name: "JavaScript: The Good Parts",
        publisher: "O'Reilly Media",
        author: {
            name: "Douglas Crockford",
            website: "http://crockford.com"
        },
        translations: ["English", "Spanish"]
    }
}

Here is one example schema we can build:

{
    book_name: "book.name",
    book_details: {
        author_name: "book.author.name",
        author_details: ["book.author.name", "book.author.website"],
        contact: "book.author.website",
        details: {
            book_publisher: "book.publisher",
            langs: "book.translations"
        }
    }
}

The result will be :

{
    book_name: "JavaScript: The Good Parts",
    book_details:{
        author_name: "Douglas Crockford",
        author_details: [ "Douglas Crockford", "http://crockford.com" ],
        contact: "http://crockford.com",
        details:{
            book_publisher: "O'Reilly Media",
            langs: [ "English", "Spanish" ]
        }
    }
}

Note that:

  1. We define all the keys in our scheme (for example book_name)
  2. We define the our new structure: (for example book_details as object and author_details as array)
  3. The values for each key is the information we want to extract and replace from our original JSON (for example "book.name")

How about arrays ?

Here is the previous JSON, but this time we have 2 books in array

[
    {
        name: "JavaScript: The Good Parts",
        publisher: "O'Reilly Media",
        author: {
            name: "Douglas Crockford",
            website: "http://crockford.com"
        },
        translations: ["English", "Spanish"]
    },
    {
        name: "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide",
        publisher: "O'Reilly Media",
        author: {
            name: "David Flanagan",
            website: "https://github.com/davidflanagan"
        },
        translations: ["French", "English"]
    }
]

Our scheme is pretty simple:

{
    name: "name",
    author: "author.name"
}

The result will be:

[
    {
        name: 'JavaScript: The Good Parts',
        author: 'Douglas Crockford'
    },
    {
        name: 'JavaScript: The Definitive Guide',
        author: 'David Flanagan'
    }
]
