simplejsonconf

A simple library to manage JSON as ex. a configuration file

• Expects pure JSON. Any functions etc, will be lost!
• Copies JSON, so the data is not mutable from the outside
• Written in ES6 (no ES5 bundle included at the moment)

Examples

const simplejsonconf = require('simplejsonconf')

// Create a new instance with an initial tree
const jsonconf = simplejsonconf({
  foo: 'bar',
  sounds: {
    enabled: true
  },
  ui: {
    show: ['sidebar', 'footer'],
    colors: {
      red: '#ff0000',
      green: '#00ff00',
      blue: '#0000ff'
    }
  }
})

//
// Gets a value
//

jsonconf.get('sounds.enabled') // => true

jsonconf.get('ui') // => {show: ...}

//
// Sets a value
//

jsonconf.set('sounds.enabled', false)

jsonconf.set('ui.show.0', 'new-sidebar') // Also works on arrays

jsonconf.push('ui.show', 'ads') // Push to arrays

jsonconf.set('ui.colors', {
  white: '#ffffff'
}, {
  merge: true // Objects will merge by default
})

jsonconf.set('ui.colors', '{"black":"#000000"}', {
  parse: true // Input will be parsed by default
})


//
// Removes an entry or value (depending on target)
//

json.remove('foo')

json.remove('ui.show.0') // Also works on arrays

//
// Misc
//

jsonconf.reset() // Reset to original values

jsonconf.reset({foo: 'bar'}) // Reset to new tree

jsonconf.toString() // As a JSON encoded string
