ftson

Fast JSON powered by TypeScript

Usage

1. Configure ftson.config.ts

import { schema } from "ftson";
import { ArbitraryType } from "./src/types/ArbitraryType";

export const stringify = {
  "./src/generated/1.ts": {
    stringify1: schema<ArbitraryType>(/* global config */)({
      // config for the type
      keyOrder: ["b", "a"],
      // config for a nested type
      fields: { b: { fields: { c: { keyOrder: ["d", "e"] } } } },
    }),
  },
};

2. Run ftson

npx ftson

A file like the one below will be generated at ./src/generated/1.ts:

import { ArbitraryType } from "../types/ArbitraryType";

export function stringify1(input: ArbitraryType): string {
  return `{"b":${/* ... fast stringify function */},"a":${input.a}}`;
}

3. Use the generated function

It may require runtime dependencies such as @ftson/escape.

As you may have noticed, the heavy stringify function generator is not needed at runtime!
