=========
|
|
|
|
Simple and non-recursive JSON parse/stringify library.
|
|
|
|
Goals
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
- **No recursion**
|
|
- Avoids the "too much recursion" or "maximum call stack" errors that the native `JSON.parse` and `JSON.stringify` methods may throw if an object is deeply nested.
|
|
- **Simplicity**
|
|
- No functions-within-functions, just a `while` loop and a stack.
|
|
- **Small footprint**
|
|
- ~1 KB minified and gzipped

|
|
|
The vuvuzela is a coarse instrument, but it's lightweight, and it gets the job done.
|
|
|
|
This module will use up tons of memory, but unlike the native `JSON` methods or [json3](https://github.com/bestiejs/json3), it'll never throw a "maximum call stack size exceeded" exception. Your JSON objects can be as deeply nested as you like.
|
|
|
|
This is not a streaming library, so unlike [oboe](https://github.com/jimhigson/oboe.js)/[clarinet](https://github.com/dscape/clarinet), it reads the whole thing into memory at once. It's also [quite a bit slower than the native JSON methods](http://jsperf.com/vuvuzela-vs-json). Use at your own risk!

|
Usage
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
$ npm install vuvuzela
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var vuvuzela = require('vuvuzela')
|
|
|
|
var asString = vuvuzela.stringify({hello: 'world'}); // '{"hello":"world"}'
|
|
|
|
var asJson = vuvuzela.parse('{"hello": "world"}'); // {hello: 'world'}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Browser builds are available in the `dist/` folder. They'll create a `window.vuvuzela` object you can use.
|
|
|
|
Limitations
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
At the top level, it will currently only parse objects and arrays, not arbitrary values like booleans, strings, numbers, and `null`.
