xerxes: JSON that can insert source code. John Larson 2014-06-27 Xerxes is a Javascript library that extends the functionality of JSON.stringify. In addition to converting JSON-compatible data types into JSON, it allows you to replace any value in the resulting JSON document into source code. It uses a very slightly modified version of JSON.stringify from Douglas Crocket's json2.js library. xerxes.js: The source code. xerxes.min.js: A minified version for deployment, made using: http://fmarcia.info/jsmin/test.html Here is a list of similar libraries: cycle.js: contains extra functions for storing and parsing cyclical structures in JSON. Made by Douglas Crockford, to be used alongside JSON. included in https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js toSource.js: a polyfill for EMCA Script's toSource function, which is currently only implemented by Firefox. One pitfall is that the source code will sometimes contain "[native code]", which cannot be parsed by a browser. This can cause difficulty, because the function takes no parameters, so the process is not customizable. Also, there are limitations with cyclical references. Work in progress. https://github.com/oliver-moran/toSource.js HydrateJS: Maintains information about what the object is an instance of. Also deals with circular references and with some of the issues in JSON with object references. Can't serialize functions and can't serialize the constructor property. https://github.com/nanodeath/HydrateJS ResurrectJS: This one has some VERY exciting improvements on HydrateJS, but may not always be the better choice of the two, as they have different philosophies. It deals very well with cyclical references and multiple references to the same object. It also maintains information about objects' prototypes. It is very customizable, and the fact that you instantiate a resurrect object allows you to easily manage multiple types of customized serialization in the same project. It also supports data types that JSON doesn't, such as dates and regular expressions. However, all constructors must have a global function name attached to them, as RessurectJS cannot serialize anonymous functions. https://github.com/skeeto/resurrect-js If you have any questions, comments, etc., email me at john.robert.larson@gmail.com
