collapsible

Pretty print JSON while auto-collapsing short JSON objects

Options

Collapsible is configurable:
maxLength (default: 200*) collapses any JSON segments smaller than this length
doubleSpaceDepth (default: 1*) double spaces array and object elements at or below this depth
spaceBeforeColon (default: false*) inserts a space before colons in an object
spaceAfterColon (default: true*) inserts a space after colons in an object
spaceAfterComma (default: true*) inserts a space after commas in an object or array
spaceInsideBraces (default: true*) inserts space after an openening and before a closing brace for an object
spaceInsideBrackets (default: true*) inserts space after an openening and before a closing bracket for an array
sameLineBraces (default: false*) insets a newline between an array of objects
sameLineBrackets (default: false*) inserts a newline between an array of arrays
typeOrder (defult: { boolean: 1, number: 2, string: 3, default: 99 }*) sets the ordering of keys in an object

Examples

Collapsible's Output:
``js
var collapsible = require('collapsible');

var obj = {"id":"3901","type":"donut","name":"Cake","ppu":0.55,"batters":{"batter":[{"id":"1001","type":"Regular"},{"id":"1002","type":"Chocolate"},{"id":"1003","type":"Blueberry"}]},"topping":[{"id":"5001","type":"None"},{"id":"5002","type":"Glazed"},{"id":"5005","type":"Sugar"},{"id":"5007","type":"Powdered Sugar"}],"aisle":12};

var options = {
maxLength: 100
};

collapsible.stringify(obj, options);

// Output
{
"aisle": 12,

"ppu": 0.55,

"id": "3901",

"name": "Cake",

"type": "donut",

"batters": {
"batter": [
{ "id": "1001", "type": "Regular" },
{ "id": "1002", "type": "Chocolate" },
{ "id": "1003", "type": "Blueberry" }
]
},

"topping": [
{ "id": "5001", "type": "None" },
{ "id": "5002", "type": "Glazed" },
{ "id": "5005", "type": "Sugar" },
{ "id": "5007", "type": "Powdered Sugar" }
]
}
`
Note the collapsed "batter" and "topping" sections; double spaced root elements; spaces around braces; and the numerical, string, and object values are clustered together.

Basic pretty print:
`js
JSON.stringify(obj, null, '\t');

// output
{
"id": "3901",
"type": "donut",
"name": "Cake",
"ppu": 0.55,
"batters": {
"batter": [
{
"id": "1001",
"type": "Regular"
},
{
"id": "1002",
"type": "Chocolate"
},
{
"id": "1003",
"type": "Blueberry"
}
]
},
"topping": [
{
"id": "5001",
"type": "None"
},
{
"id": "5002",
"type": "Glazed"
},
{
"id": "5005",
"type": "Sugar"
},
{
"id": "5007",
"type": "Powdered Sugar"
}
],
"aisle": 12
}
``
Note how standard pretty printing has longer total length (58% longer) and non-grouping of similar types.
