JSON.sortify
=====

A deterministic version of JSON.stringify that sorts object keys alphabetically.

Inspired by http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8931967/is-there-a-deterministic-equivalent-of-json-stringify

Install as an NPM module

``bash
$ npm install json.sortify
`

$3

`JavaScript
let jsonSortify = require('json.sortify');
`

or

`JavaScript
JSON.sortify = require('json.sortify');
`

or even
`JavaScript
JSON.stringify = require('json.sortify');
`

JSON.sortify is fully compatible with JSON.stringify, so you can overwrite the native implementation without any problems.

In HTML

Download JSON.sortify.js and save it to your server.

`html

`

Or, if you're using bower, type bower install json.sortify.

`html

`

JSON.sortify can be used exactly like JSON.stringify. As mentioned above, you can overwrite JSON.stringify if you want to:

`html

You can also use JSON.sortify as an AMD module:

`JavaScript
require(['json.sortify'], function (jsonSortify) { … });
`
