Call defaults with JSON Schema. The default values will be extracted as a JSON.

const json = defaults({
  "title": "Album Options",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "sort": {
      "type": "string",
      "default": "id"
    },
    "per_page": {
      "default": 30,
      "type": "integer"
    }
  }
});

// would return
{
  sort: 'id',
  per_page: 30
}
