Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v1.0.2

Published

TypeScript-based converter from JSON to TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation)

Readme

json-toon-converter-compact

Librería TypeScript para convertir datos entre JSON y TOON (Token‑Oriented Object Notation) y validar entradas.

Instalación

npm install json-toon-converter-compact

Uso Rápido

ESM

import { jsonToToon, toonToJson, validateToon, validateJson } from 'json-toon-converter-compact'

const toon = jsonToToon({ user: { name: 'Benja', id: 1 } })
const obj = toonToJson('user=(name=Benja\nid=1)')

const errToon = validateToon(toon)        // null si es válido
const errJson = validateJson('{"a":1}')  // null si es válido

CJS

const { jsonToToon, toonToJson, validateToon, validateJson } = require('json-toon-converter-compact')

API

  • jsonToToon(input: JSONValue | unknown): string
    • Serializa objetos/arrays/primitivos JSON a TOON. Objetos anidados se representan entre paréntesis, arrays con |.
  • toonToJson(toon: string): JSONValue
    • Parsea TOON respetando paréntesis y |, con inferencia básica de números y booleanos.
  • validateToon(toon: string): string | null
    • Valida sintaxis TOON (p.ej. balance de paréntesis, entrada no JSON). Devuelve null si es válido o mensaje de error.
  • validateJson(jsonStr: string): string | null
    • Valida una cadena JSON usando JSON.parse. Devuelve null si es válido o mensaje de error.

Ejemplos

// JSON → TOON
jsonToToon({
  name: 'Alice',
  age: 28,
  active: true,
  skills: ['JavaScript', 'TypeScript'],
  address: { city: 'Madrid', country: 'Spain' }
})
// ->
// name=Alice\nage=28\nactive=true\nskills=JavaScript|TypeScript\naddress=(city=Madrid\ncountry=Spain)

// TOON → JSON
toonToJson('name=Alice\nage=28\nactive=true')
// -> { name: 'Alice', age: 28, active: true }

Tipos

La librería exporta JSONValue para tipar entradas y salidas:

type JSONValue = string | number | boolean | null | JSONValue[] | { [k: string]: JSONValue }

Limitaciones

  • No se escapan caracteres especiales en strings (|, =, (, )). Evita incluirlos en valores de texto.
  • El parser infiere números y booleanos de forma simple; cadenas se mantienen como texto.
