fastest-stable-stringify
Advanced tools
The fastest-stable-stringify npm package is a JavaScript library designed to provide a fast and deterministic JSON.stringify() alternative. It ensures that the output for the same input object is consistent across different runs, which is crucial for tasks like caching and comparison where consistent ordering of object keys is necessary.
Deterministic JSON serialization
This feature allows for the serialization of JSON objects in a stable and deterministic manner, meaning the order of object keys is consistent regardless of their insertion order. This is particularly useful for generating consistent hashes of data or caching.
{"const stringify = require('fastest-stable-stringify');\nconst obj = { c: 8, b: [{z:6,y:5,x:4},7], a: 3 };\nconst result = stringify(obj);\nconsole.log(result); // '{"a":3,"b":[{"x":4,"y":5,"z":6},7],"c":8}'"}
This package offers similar functionality to fastest-stable-stringify by providing a deterministic version of JSON.stringify(). It ensures consistent ordering of object keys but is generally slower in performance compared to fastest-stable-stringify.
Similar to json-stable-stringify, this package provides deterministic JSON serialization. It differs primarily in that it does not include a polyfill for JSON, which can be beneficial in environments where the native JSON is preferred for performance reasons.
Deterministic JSON.stringify()
- fastest stable JSON stringifier. This project combines fast-json-stable-stringify and fast-stable-stringify to create the fastest stable JSON stringifier.
With npm do:
npm install fastest-stable-stringify
var stringify = require('fastest-stable-stringify');
var str = stringify({foo: 'bar'});
