A utility that converts loosely structured data into valid JSON strings, ensuring data consistency and compatibility. It provides a safer alternative to using the Function constructor to create objects from strings.

Usage

The jsonLoose function takes an invalid JSON string as input and returns a JSON-like string representation of the transformed data.

import jsonLoose from 'json-loose'

const invalidJSON = `
{
  name: 'Bambang Ekalaya',
  username: "@palgunadi",
  age: 30,
  isStudent: true
}
`
const data = jsonLoose(invalidJSON)
// now you can `JSON.parse(data)`

console.log(data)

Yields:

{
  "name": "Bambang Ekalaya",
  "username": "@palgunadi",
  "age": 30,
  "isStudent": true
}

You can also specify an optional context object to transform Identifier values:

import jsonLoose from 'json-loose'

const invalidJSON = `
[
  "foo",
  true,
  [1, 2, wife],
  {
    [n]: 'Bambang Ekalaya',
    username: "@palgunadi",
    age: 30,
    address: [{city:city}, [country]],
    skills: skills,
    isStudent: true,
    relation: {
      wife: wife,
      guru: guru,
      [bar]: "qux"
    },
  },
],
`

const context = {
  n: 'name',
  skills: 'Archery',
  city: 'Nishada',
  country: 'Aravalli',
  wife: 'Anggraini',
  guru: 'Drona'
}

const data = jsonLoose(invalidJSON, context)
// now you can `JSON.parse(data)`

console.log(data)

Yields:

[
  "foo",
  true,
  [1, 2, "Anggraini"],
  {
    "name": "Bambang Ekalaya",
    "username": "@palgunadi",
    "age": 30,
    "address": [{ "city": "Nishada" }, ["Aravalli"]],
    "skills": "Archery",
    "isStudent": true,
    "relation": { "wife": "Anggraini", "guru": "Drona", "bar": "qux" }
  }
]
