@brillout/json-serializer

Same as JSON but with added support for:
- Date
- undefined
- Set
- Map
- BigInt
- RegExp
- NaN
- Infinity

JSON is a good serializer for JavaScript values but
is lacking some JavaScript types such as Date:

~~~js
!INLINE /examples/date_json.js --hide-source-path

Whereas with @brillout/json-serializer:

~~~js
!INLINE /examples/date_json-serializer.js --hide-source-path

Let's see how @brillout/json-serializer serializes an object:

~~~js
!INLINE /examples/inspect.js
~~~

@brillout/json-serializer is based on JSON while using prefixed strings for unsupported types.

@brillout/json-serializer uses the native JSON.parse and JSON.stringify functions while modifying the serialization of unsupported types.
