# json-loose

A utility that converts loosely structured data into valid JSON strings, ensuring data consistency and compatibility. It provides a safer alternative to using the `Function` constructor to create objects from strings.

## Install

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

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

Alternatively, you can also include this module directly in your HTML file from [CDN](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/json-loose?tab=files&path=dist):

| 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.

```js
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:

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

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

```js
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:

```json
[
"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" }
}
]
```
