This package uses zod to type check JSON values.
It includes type guards for each of the JSON types, as well as parse functions and corresponding types.

``sh`
yarn add types-json
`sh`
npm install types-json
`sh`
pnpm add types-json
When using isJSONValue, values which cannot be parsed or serialized properly using JSON.parse and JSON.stringify return false.
Similarly, when using parseJSONValue, invalid values return undefined.
Finally, a zod schema provided representing the JSONValue type.
`ts
import { isJSONValue, parseJSONValue, jsonValueSchema } from "types-json";
isJSONValue(undefined); // false
isJSONValue(null); // true
isJSONValue(NaN); // false
isJSONValue(Infinity); // false
isJSONValue([1, 2, 3]); // true
isJSONValue([1, 2, () => 3]); // false
`
Optional types are also provided:
`ts
import { isOptionalJSONValue, parseOptionalJSONValue, optionalJSONValueSchema } from "types-json";
isOptionalJSONValue(undefined); // true
isOptionalJSONValue({ a: 1, b: undefined }); // true
`
JSONObject is a type guard and parse function for objects which can be parsed and serialized using JSON.parse and JSON.stringify.
`ts
import {
isJSONObject,
parseJSONObject,
jsonObjectSchema
} from "types-json";
isJSONObject({ foo: "bar" }); // true
isJSONObject({ foo: () => "bar" }); // false
parseJSONObject({ foo: "bar" }); // true
parseJSONObject({ foo: () => "bar" }); // undefined
`
Optional types are also provided. OptionalJSONObject includes undefined, while NestedOptionalJSONObject only allows for undefined values nested within the object:
`ts
import {
isOptionalJSONObject,
parseOptionalJSONObject,
optionalJSONObjectSchema,
isNestedOptionalJSONObject,
parseNestedOptionalJSONObject,
nestedOptionalJSONObjectSchema
} from "types-json";
isOptionalJSONObject(undefined); // true
isOptionalJSONObject({ a: 1, b: undefined }); // true
isNestedOptionalJSONObject(undefined); // false
isNestedOptionalJSONObject({ a: 1, b: undefined }); // true
`
`ts
import {
isJSONArray,
parseJSONArray,
jsonArraySchema,
} from "types-json";
isJSONArray([1]); // true
isJSONArray([1, () => 2]); // false
parseJSONArray([1]); // []
parseJSONArray([1, () => 2]); // undefined
`
Optional types are also provided. OptionalJSONArray includes undefined, while NestedOptionalJSONArray only allows for undefined values nested within objects inside the array. Note that undefined values nested within arrays are not allowed, as they are not valid JSON:
`ts
import {
isOptionalJSONArray,
parseOptionalJSONArray,
optionalJSONArraySchema,
isNestedOptionalJSONArray,
parseNestedOptionalJSONArray,
nestedOptionalJSONArraySchema
} from "types-json";
isOptionalJSONArray(undefined); // true
isOptionalJSONArray([1, undefined]); // false
isOptionalJSONArray([1, { a: 1, b: undefined }]); // true
isNestedOptionalJSONArray(undefined); // false
isNestedOptionalJSONArray([1, undefined]); // false
isNestedOptionalJSONArray([1, { a: 1, b: undefined }]); // true
`
`ts
import {
isJSONPrimitive,
parseJSONPrimitive,
jsonPrimitiveSchema
} from "types-json";
isJSONPrimitive("foo"); // true
isJSONPrimitive(1); // true
isJSONPrimitive(true); // true
isJSONPrimitive(null); // true
isJSONPrimitive(undefined); // false
isJSONPrimitive({}); // false
`
Optional types are also provided:
`ts
import {
isOptionalJSONPrimitive,
optionalJSONPrimitiveSchema
} from "types-json";
isOptionalJSONPrimitive("foo"); // true
isOptionalJSONPrimitive(1); // true
isOptionalJSONPrimitive(true); // true
isOptionalJSONPrimitive(null); // true
isOptionalJSONPrimitive(undefined); // true
isOptionalJSONPrimitive({}); // false
`
JSONOrderable is a type for values which can be reasonably compared using operators such as >, <, >=, and <=:
`ts
import {
isJSONOrderable,
parseJSONOrderable,
jsonOrderableSchema
} from "types-json";
isJSONOrderable("foo"); // true
isJSONOrderable(1); // true
isJSONOrderable(true); // false
isJSONOrderable(null); // false
isJSONOrderable(undefined); // false
isJSONOrderable({}); // false
isJSONOrderable([]); // false
`
Optional types are also provided:
`ts
import {
isOptionalJSONOrderable,
optionalJSONOrderableSchema
} from "types-json";
isOptionalJSONOrderable("foo"); // true
isOptionalJSONOrderable(1); // true
isOptionalJSONOrderable(true); // false
isOptionalJSONOrderable(null); // false
isOptionalJSONOrderable(undefined); // true
isOptionalJSONOrderable({}); // false
isOptionalJSONOrderable([]); // false
`
`ts
import {
isString,
parseString,
stringSchema
} from "types-json";
isString("foo"); // true
isString(1); // undefined
parseString("foo"); // "foo"
parseString(1); // undefined
`
Optional types are also provided:
`ts
import {
isOptionalString,
optionalStringSchema
} from "types-json";
isOptionalString("foo"); // true
isOptionalString(undefined); // true
`
`ts
import {
isNumber,
parseNumber,
numberSchema
} from "types-json";
isNumber(1); // true
isNumber("1"); // undefined
parseNumber(1); // true
parseNumber("1"); // undefined
`
Optional types are also provided:
`ts
import {
isOptionalNumber,
optionalNumberSchema
} from "types-json";
isOptionalNumber(1); // true
isOptionalNumber(undefined); // true
`
`ts
import {
isBoolean,
parseBoolean,
booleanSchema
} from "types-json";
isBoolean(true); // true
isBoolean("true"); // undefined
parseBoolean(true); // true
parseBoolean("true"); // undefined
`
Optional types are also provided:
`ts
import {
isOptionalBoolean,
optionalBooleanSchema
} from "types-json";
isOptionalBoolean(true); // true
isOptionalBoolean(undefined); // true
`
`ts
import {
isNull,
parseNull,
nullSchema
};
isNull(null); // true
isNull("not null"); // undefined
parseNull(null); // null
parseNull("not null"); // undefined
`
Optional types are also provided:
`ts
import {
isOptionalNull,
optionalNullSchema
} from "types-json";
isOptionalNull(null); // true
isOptionalNull(undefined); // true
`
Finally, an isUndefined type guard is provided:
`ts
import { isUndefined } from "types-json";
isUndefined(undefined); // true
isUndefined("string"); // false
