@ipld/dag-json

An implementation of the DAG-JSON spec ("Directed Acyclic Graph for IPLD") for JavaScript designed for use with multiformats or via the higher-level Block abstraction in @ipld/block.

Example

import { encode, decode } from '@ipld/dag-json'
import { CID } from 'multiformats'

const obj = {
  x: 1,
  /* CID instances are encoded as links */
  y: [2, 3, CID.parse('QmaozNR7DZHQK1ZcU9p7QdrshMvXqWK6gpu5rmrkPdT3L4')],
  z: {
    a: CID.parse('QmaozNR7DZHQK1ZcU9p7QdrshMvXqWK6gpu5rmrkPdT3L4'),
    b: null,
    c: 'string'
  }
}

let data = encode(obj)
let decoded = decode(data)
decoded.y[0] // 2
CID.asCID(decoded.z.a) // cid instance

Usage

@ipld/dag-pb is designed to be used within multiformats but can be used separately. encode(), decode() are available as exports, as are name and code to match with the corresponding DAG-JSON multicodec.
