PyPI Package Disguised as Instagram Growth Tool Harvests User Credentials
A deceptive PyPI package posing as an Instagram growth tool collects user credentials and sends them to third-party bot services.
Convert data of any type to text, json, formData, TypedArray, Blob, or ArrayBuffer

npm install any-data
I needed a tool for dealing with the wide variety of data types that can be
passed to new Response()
. So AnyData
allows lazy data conversion for response
bodies to simplify http server middleware such as calculating etags and
compression with Brotli.
Note that AnyData
does not support ReadableStream
even though Response
does.
import { AnyData } from 'any-data';
await new AnyData('hello world').bytes(); // UTF-8 encoded in Uint8Array
await new AnyData(myArrayBuffer).bytes(); // Array buffer as Uint8Array
await new AnyData(myBlob).arrayBuffer(); // Blob as ArrayBuffer
import { AnyData } from 'any-data';
const hello = new AnyData('hello world');
// getting data
await hello.text(); // get data as text
await hello.json(); // get data as an object; will throw if data isn't valid JSON
await hello.arrayBuffer(); // get data as ArrayBuffer
await hello.blob(); // get data as Blob
await hello.bytes(); // get data as Uint8Array
await hello.formData(); // get data as FormData object
// setting data to something new
hello.set('foo bar');
// utility methods
hello.clone(); // returns a new AnyData object with a DEEP clone of the underlying data
hello.isEmpty(); // true if data is empty
hello.isSupported(); // true if data type is supported
hello.getDataCategory(); // Either bytes, text, or unknown
data type / method | text() | json() | formData() | bytes() | blob() | arrayBuffer() | clone() |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
null | "" | undefined | (empty) | (empty) | (empty) | (empty) | null |
string | itself | If valid JSON | If valid | Yes | Yes | Yes | itself |
Record<string, any> | JSON | itself | Yes | JSON | JSON | JSON | deep copy |
Array | JSON | itself | as entries | JSON | JSON | JSON | deep copy |
Response | text() | json() | formData() | bytes() | blob() | arrayBuffer() | clone() |
Blob | Yes | If valid JSON | If valid JSON | Yes | itself | Yes | deep copy |
ArrayBuffer | Yes | If valid JSON | If valid JSON | Yes | Yes | Yes | deep copy |
TypedArray | Yes | If valid JSON | If valid JSON | Yes | Yes | Yes | deep copy |
DataView | Yes | If valid JSON | If valid JSON | Yes | Yes | Yes | deep copy |
FormData † | Yes | Error | itself | Yes | Yes | Yes | deep copy |
ReadableStream | Yes | If valid JSON | If valid JSON | Yes | Yes | Yes | deep copy |
URLSearchParams | URL | entries | Yes | URL | URL | URL | deep copy |
† Note: all FormData is serialized to text with multi-part form boundary markers
