Methods
serialize
serialize(source, opts, opts.ignoreCircular, opts.reference)
serializes an object to javascript
Example - serializing regex, date, buffer, ...
var serialize = serialize;var obj = str: '<script>var a = 0 > 1</script>' num: 31415 bool: true nil: null undef: undefined obj: foo: 'bar' arr: 1 '2' regexp: /^test?$/ date: buffer: Bufferconsole// > {str: "\u003Cscript\u003Evar a = 0 \u003E 1\u003C\u002Fscript\u003E", num: 3.1415, bool: true, nil: null, undef: undefined, obj: {foo: "bar"}, arr: [1, "2"], regexp: /^test?$/, date: new Date("2016-04-15T16:22:52.009Z"), buffer: new Buffer('ZGF0YQ==', 'base64')}
Example - serializing while respecting references
var serialize = serialize;var obj = object: regexp: /^test?$/ ;objreference = objobject;var opts = reference: true ;console;//> {object: {regexp: /^test?$/}}console;//> [ [ '.reference', '.object' ] ]
Parameters
source: Object | Array | function | Any
, source to serialize
opts: Object
, options
opts.ignoreCircular: Boolean
, ignore circular objects
opts.reference: Boolean
, reference instead of a copy (requires post-processing of opts.references)
opts.unsafe: Boolean
, do not escape chars <>/
Returns: String
, serialized representation of source
deserialize
deserialize(str, [context])
deserialize a serialized object to javascript
NOTE: Deserialization uses
new Function()
for code evaluation which may be "harmful". SO NOW YOU ARE WARNED!
Uses safer-eval for deserialization.
Example - deserializing regex, date, ...
var str = '{obj: {foo: "bar"}, arr: [1, "2"], regexp: /^test?$/, date: new Date("2016-04-15T16:22:52.009Z")}'var res = console//> { obj: { foo: 'bar' },//> arr: [ 1, '2' ],//> regexp: /^test?$/,//> date: Sat Apr 16 2016 01:22:52 GMT+0900 (JST) }
Parameters
str: String
, string containing serialized data
context: (optional) pass context e.g. if requiring Buffer use {Buffer: Buffer}
.
Returns: Any
, deserialized data
serializeToModule
serializeToModule(source, opts, opts.ignoreCircular, opts.reference, opts.comment, opts.beautify)
serialize to a module which can be require
ed.
Example - serializing while respecting references
var serialTM = serializeToModule;var obj = object: regexp: /^test?$/ ;objreference = objobject;console;//> var m = module.exports = {//> object: {//> regexp: /^test?$///> }//> };//> m.reference = m.object;
Parameters
source: Object | Array | function | Any
, source to serialize
opts: Object
, options
opts.ignoreCircular: Boolean
, ignore circular objects
opts.reference: Boolean
, reference instead of a copy (requires post-processing of opts.references)
opts.comment: Boolean
, add a comments - useful for linting tools e.g. using 'eslint-disable'
opts.beautify: Boolean | Object
, beautify output - default is false
. If Object then use je-beautify options.
opts.unsafe: Boolean
, do not escape chars <>/
Returns: String
, serialized representation of source
as module
