SipaSerializer

SipaSerializer

Serializer to serialize data of primitive types or even complex Objects, to ensure to be stored as valid JSON and can be deserialized back without data loss.

Includes support for

• Boolean, Number, String, Array, Object, null (native JS[SON] support) And special type handling to support the following types
• Functions
• RegExp, Date
• NaN, Infinity, undefined
• empty (special type when deleting an item of an array)

The special types are escaped by an internal escaping when serialized. See SipaSerializer.STORAGE_PLACEHOLDERS for the escapes.

• SipaSerializer

  • .isFunctionString(value) → boolean
  • .isArrayString(value) → boolean
  • .isObjectString(value) → boolean
  • .deserializeFunctionString(value) → function
  • .deepSerializeSpecialTypes(obj) → Array | Object
  • .deepDeserializeSpecialTypes(obj) → Array | Object

SipaSerializer.serialize(value) → string | null

Serialize given value to be stored in JSON without loosing its original value

Returns: string | null - returns string or null if value is null

Param	Type
value	any

SipaSerializer.deserialize(value) → Boolean | String | Number | Array | Object | RegExp | Date | undefined | NaN | Infinity | null | *

Serialize given value to be stored in JSON without loosing its original value

Param	Type
value	String | null

SipaSerializer.isFunctionString(value) → boolean

Check if given string is a valid javascript function

Param	Type
value	String

SipaSerializer.isArrayString(value) → boolean

Check if given string is a valid javascript array

Param	Type
value	String

SipaSerializer.isObjectString(value) → boolean

Check if given string is a valid javascript object

Param	Type
value	String

SipaSerializer.deserializeFunctionString(value) → function

Deserialize a valid javascript string into a callable function

Param	Type
value	String

SipaSerializer.deepSerializeSpecialTypes(obj) → Array | Object

Serializes (escapes) all special types within an Array or Object to be stored in JSON without data loss.

Original Array or Object is cloned and will not be manipulated.

Param	Type
obj	Array | Object

SipaSerializer.deepDeserializeSpecialTypes(obj) → Array | Object

Deserializes (unescapes) all special types of the given Array or Object

Original Array or Object is cloned and will not be manipulated.
