The functions documented below extend the built-in JSON functionality of Node and/or the browser.
Methods
copy(json) → {*}
A deep copy of a JSON structure, as another JSON structure.
Right now this is implemented in the easiest way; we simply serialize
and then deserialize using the built-in methods of JSON.stringify()
and JSON.parse(). This is, however, not a very efficient
implementation, and could be improved later if needed.
Parameters
-
json
*the structure to copy, which must be amenable to JSON encoding using
JSON.stringify()
Returns
-
*if the input is an object, this is a deep copy; if the input was atomic, this is the same atomic
Source
equals(x, y) → {boolean}
Whether two objects that are amenable to JSON encoding are structurally equal.
Parameters
-
x
*The first of the two objects; this must be amenable to JSON encoding
-
y
*The second of the two objects; this must be amenable to JSON encoding
Returns
-
booleanWhether the two objects are structurally equal
