JSON parser wrapper

Wrapper for JSON.parse() with added error handling. Non-valid JSON (e.g. null or empty string) returns a default value which can be specified to be an object (default) or an array.

Installation

npm install @krisell/parser

How to use

Parser.json(stringifiedData) will return {} if stringifiedData can't be parsed. Parser.json(stringifiedData, 'array') will return [] if stringifiedData can't be parsed. Returns the same as JSON.parse() in all other cases.

The data and type settings can also be provided as named parameters (using an object literal).

Parser.json({
    serialized: stringifiedData,
    type: 'array'
})
