Transforms loosely structured plain object strings into valid JSON strings.

json-loose

A utility to handle and transform loosely structured data into valid JSON strings. It offers an intuitive solution to ensure data consistency and compatibility, providing a safer alternative to using the Function constructor to obtain an object from a string.

Install

You can install this module using npm or yarn, it's only 2.93 kB │ gzip: 1.32 kB:

npm i json-loose
# or
yarn add json-loose

Alternatively, you can also include this module directly in your HTML file from CDN:

Type	URL
ESM	https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/json-loose/+esm
CJS	https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/json-loose/dist/index.cjs
UMD	https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/json-loose/dist/index.umd.js

Usage

The jsonLoose function takes an invalid JSON string as input and returns a JSON-like string representation of the transformed data.

import jsonLoose from 'json-loose'

const invalidJSON = `
{
  name: 'Bambang Ekalaya',
  username: "@palgunadi",
  age: 30,
  isStudent: true
}
`
const data = jsonLoose(invalidJSON)
// now you can `JSON.parse(data)`

console.log(data)

Yields:

{
  "name": "Bambang Ekalaya",
  "username": "@palgunadi",
  "age": 30,
  "isStudent": true
}

You can also specify an optional context object to transform Identifier values:

import jsonLoose from 'json-loose'

const invalidJSON = `
[
  "foo",
  true,
  [1, 2, wife],
  {
    [n]: 'Bambang Ekalaya',
    username: "@palgunadi",
    age: 30,
    address: [{city:city}, [country]],
    skills: skills,
    isStudent: true,
    relation: {
      wife: wife,
      guru: guru,
      [bar]: "qux"
    },
  },
],
`

const context = {
  n: 'name',
  skills: 'Archery',
  city: 'Nishada',
  country: 'Aravalli',
  wife: 'Anggraini',
  guru: 'Drona'
}

const data = jsonLoose(invalidJSON, context)
// now you can `JSON.parse(data)`

console.log(data)

Yields:

[
  "foo",
  true,
  [1, 2, "Anggraini"],
  {
    "name": "Bambang Ekalaya",
    "username": "@palgunadi",
    "age": 30,
    "address": [{ "city": "Nishada" }, ["Aravalli"]],
    "skills": "Archery",
    "isStudent": true,
    "relation": { "wife": "Anggraini", "guru": "Drona", "bar": "qux" }
  }
]

Fix Node.JS import

/home/d9k/.nvm/versions/node/v20.8.0/bin/node --nolazy -r ts-node/register/transpile-only parse-supabase-generated-types-with-babel.ts
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/d9k/cr/pr/examples/ts/supabase-demo/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/json-loose/dist/index.cjs.js from /home/d9k/cr/pr/examples/ts/supabase-demo/parse-supabase-generated-types-with-babel.ts not supported.
index.cjs.js is treated as an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which declares all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead either rename index.cjs.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules, or change "type": "module" to "type": "commonjs" in /home/d9k/cr/pr/examples/ts/supabase-demo/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/json-loose/package.json to treat all .js files as CommonJS (using .mjs for all ES modules instead).
