faster-stable-stringify

Faster deterministic JSON.stringify() without bells and whistles.

``js
const stableStringify = require('faster-stable-stringify');

const json = stableStringify({greetings: 'Hello!', apples: 'bananas'});
// json = {"apples":"bananas","greetings":"Hello!"}
`

Installation

`sh
$ npm install faster-stable-stringify
`

Features

- JSON.stringify that has deterministic output
- Handles edge cases in accordance with the spec
- Replaces cycles with "[Circular]" similar to [isaac's
json-stringify-safe][1]

API

A single function is exported.

`js
stableStringify(value)
`

The behavior is identical to the native JSON.stringify, excluding circular
structures. See [here][2] for an explanation of the JSON.stringify behavior.

Alternatives

If you need to customize the sorting behavior, or want an implementation that
throws on circular references, you may prefer to use [substack's
json-stable-stringify][3].

If you need it to work in the browser or in an environment without a native
JSON.stringify`, you may prefer to use [nickyout's fast-stable-stringify][4].
