README
[](https://github.com/feross/standard)
[ ](https://codeship.com/projects/79926)
Normalizes the JavaScript JSON API against overwritten `Array.prototype.toJSON` and IE8's unstandardized version of `Date.prototype.toJSON`.
Advantages over [JSON 3](https://github.com/bestiejs/json3)
- Much smaller, only a few lines rather than 4KB
- Uses native stringify and parse methods
- Runs much quicker on older browsers
Known issues
- Does not protect against all monkeypatching
- Can be slower at stringifying on newer browsers (see [Benchmarks](#benchmarks))
- Not compatible with IE7 or below
Installation
============
```bash
$ npm install --save json-bourne
```
Motivation
==========
JSON Bourne is intended for use in code that you'll execute on websites you don't control. Such websites can break the native `JSON.stringify` implementation by changing `Array.prototype.toJSON`, specifically if they use prototype.js version 1.6 or under. JSON Bourne also normalizes `Date.prototype.toJSON`, correcting the unstandard implementation for IE8. Any changes to prototypes are restored immediately after stringifying.
Usage
=====
JSON Bourne is a drop in replacement for JSON, replicating the standard `parse` and `stringify` methods exactly.
```javascript
var JSON = require('json-bourne')
console.log(JSON.parse('{"bourne": "legacy"}'))
// Logs { bourne: "legacy" }
console.log(JSON.stringify({"bourne": "ultimatum"}))
// Logs { "bourne": "ultimatum" }
```
Compatibility
=============
Tested on IE8+, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari.
