ejson

ejson is an extension of JSON to support more types. It supports all JSON-safe types as well as

• Date: It maintains a date instance instead of transforming it to a string.
• Binary: Uint8Array
• User defined types

The ejson module is port of Meteor's EJSON parser which has been made compatible for Node.js and browsers. This way, other real-time libraries can also make use of these extensions.

Installation

The module is released through npm:

npm install --save ejson

Usage

The API is exactly the same as the API that Meteor provides as it uses exactly the same code. The most important API's are:

• EJSON.clone
• EJSON.parse
• EJSON.stringify

And some utility methods:

• EJSON.toJSONValue
• EJSON.fromJSONValue
• EJSON.isBinary
• EJSON.newBinary
• EJSON.equals

See the meteor EJSON documentation for more detailed information.
