$ npm install json.sortify
let jsonSortify = require('json.sortify');
or
JSON.sortify = require('json.sortify');
or even
JSON.stringify = require('json.sortify');
JSON.sortify is fully compatible with JSON.stringify, so you can overwrite the native implementation without any problems.
Download JSON.sortify.js and save it to your server.
<script src="JSON.sortify.js"></script> <!-- will inject the JSON.sortify() function -->
Or, if you're using bower, type bower install json.sortify
.
<script src="bower_components/json.sortify/dist/JSON.sortify.js"></script>
JSON.sortify
can be used exactly like JSON.stringify
. As mentioned above, you can overwrite JSON.stringify if you want to:
<script src="JSON.sortify.js"></script>
<script>JSON.stringify = JSON.sortify</script>
You can also use JSON.sortify as an AMD module:
require(['json.sortify'], function (jsonSortify) { … });
Use JSON.sortify
exactly like JSON.stringify
. Refer to MDN:JSON/stringify for details.
JSON.sortify({a:1,b:2});
{"a":1,"b":2}
JSON.sortify({b:1,a:2,c:3,5:4});
{"5":4,"a":2,"b":1,"c":3}
JSON.sortify({b:1,a:2}, null, 2);
{
"a": 2,
"b": 1
}
JSON.sortify({b:1,foo:2,a:3}, ['a', 'foo'], 4);
{
"a": 3,
"foo": 2
}
JSON.sortify({b:1,foo:'woot',a:3}, function (key, value) {
return typeof value == 'string' ? value + '!!!' : value;
}, '\t');
{
"a": 3,
"b": 1,
"foo": "woot!!!"
}
