safe-json-parsex

A lightweight, production-ready JSON parsing utility that safely handles malformed input without throwing uncaught exceptions. Designed for reliability, performance, and clean error handling in both Node.js and browser environments.

Overview

Native JSON.parse throws runtime exceptions when encountering invalid JSON, which can lead to application crashes or excessive try/catch usage. safe-json-parsex provides a predictable, ergonomic wrapper that returns structured results and optional fallbacks, enabling safer data handling in production systems.

This package is ideal for backend services, API gateways, data pipelines, and frontend applications that must gracefully handle untrusted or variable JSON input.

Key Features

• Safe parsing with zero uncaught exceptions
• Minimal footprint and zero dependencies
• Structured result object (data + error)
• Optional fallback values
• Optional throw mode for strict workflows
• TypeScript support out of the box
• Compatible with Node.js and modern browsers

Installation

npm install safe-json-parsex
