__fast-json-stringify__ is significantly faster than `JSON.stringify()` for small payloads. Its performance advantage shrinks as your payload grows. It pairs well with [__flatstr__](https://www.npmjs.com/package/flatstr), which triggers a V8 optimization that improves performance when eventually converting the string to a `Buffer`.

## Example
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const fastJson = require('fast-json-stringify')
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    firstName: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'

						|
    age: {
 | 
						|
      description: 'Age in years',
 | 
						|
      type: 'integer'
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
    reg: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify({
 | 
						|
  firstName: 'Matteo',
 | 
						|
  lastName: 'Collina',
 | 
						|
  age: 32,
 | 
						|
  reg: /"([^"]|\\")*"/
 | 
						|
}))
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="options"></a>
 | 
						|
## Options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Optionally, you may provide to `fast-json-stringify` an option object as second parameter:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const fastJson = require('fast-json-stringify')
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson(mySchema, {
 | 
						|
  schema: { ... },
 | 
						|
  ajv: { ... },
 | 
						|
  rounding: 'ceil'
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `schema`: external schemas references by $ref property. [More details](#ref)
 | 
						|
- `ajv`: ajv instance's settings for those properties that require `ajv`. [More details](#anyof)
 | 
						|
- `rounding`: setup how the `integer` types will be rounded when not integers. [More details](#integer)

### fastJsonStringify(schema)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Build a `stringify()` function based on [jsonschema](https://json-schema.org/).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Supported types:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * `'string'`
 | 
						|
 * `'integer'`
 | 
						|
 * `'number'`
 | 
						|
 * `'array'`
 | 
						|
 * `'object'`
 | 
						|
 * `'boolean'`
 | 
						|
 * `'null'`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
And nested ones, too.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="specific"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Specific use cases
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
| Instance | Serialized as                |
 | 
						|
| -------- | ---------------------------- |
 | 
						|
| `Date`   | `string` via `toISOString()` |
 | 
						|
| `RegExp` | `string`                     |
 | 
						|
| `BigInt` | `integer` via `toString`     |
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[JSON Schema built-in formats](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/string.html#built-in-formats) for dates are supported and will be serialized as:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
| Format      | Serialized format example  |
 | 
						|
| ----------- | -------------------------- |
 | 
						|
| `date-time` | `2020-04-03T09:11:08.615Z` |
 | 
						|
| `date`      | `2020-04-03`               |
 | 
						|
| `time`      | `09:11:08`                 |
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Note**: In the case of string formatted Date and not Date Object, there will be no manipulation on it. It should be properly formatted.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example with a MomentJS object:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const moment = require('moment')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema with string date-time field',
 | 
						|
  type: 'string',
 | 
						|
  format: 'date-time'
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify(moment())) // '"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ"'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="required"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Required
 | 
						|
You can set specific fields of an object as required in your schema by adding the field name inside the `required` array in your schema.
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const schema = {
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema with required field',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    nickname: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
    mail: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  required: ['mail']
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
If the object to stringify is missing the required field(s), `fast-json-stringify` will throw an error.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="missingFields"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Missing fields
 | 
						|
If a field *is present* in the schema (and is not required) but it *is not present* in the object to stringify, `fast-json-stringify` will not write it in the final string.
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    nickname: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
    mail: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const obj = {
 | 
						|
  mail: 'mail@example.com'
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify(obj)) // '{"mail":"mail@example.com"}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="defaults"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Defaults
 | 
						|
`fast-json-stringify` supports `default` jsonschema key in order to serialize a value
 | 
						|
if it is `undefined` or not present.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    nickname: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string',
 | 
						|
      default: 'the default string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify({})) // '{"nickname":"the default string"}'
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify({nickname: 'my-nickname'})) // '{"nickname":"my-nickname"}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="patternProperties"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Pattern properties
 | 
						|
`fast-json-stringify` supports pattern properties as defined by JSON schema.
 | 
						|
*patternProperties* must be an object, where the key is a valid regex and the value is an object, declared in this way: `{ type: 'type' }`.
 | 
						|
*patternProperties* will work only for the properties that are not explicitly listed in the properties object.
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    nickname: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  patternProperties: {
 | 
						|
    'num': {
 | 
						|
      type: 'number'
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
    '.*foo$': {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const obj = {
 | 
						|
  nickname: 'nick',
 | 
						|
  matchfoo: 42,
 | 
						|
  otherfoo: 'str'
 | 
						|
  matchnum: 3
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify(obj)) // '{"matchfoo":"42","otherfoo":"str","matchnum":3,"nickname":"nick"}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="additionalProperties"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Additional properties
 | 
						|
`fast-json-stringify` supports additional properties as defined by JSON schema.
 | 
						|
*additionalProperties* must be an object or a boolean, declared in this way: `{ type: 'type' }`.
 | 
						|
*additionalProperties* will work only for the properties that are not explicitly listed in the *properties* and *patternProperties* objects.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If *additionalProperties* is not present or is set to `false`, every property that is not explicitly listed in the *properties* and *patternProperties* objects,will be ignored, as described in <a href="#missingFields">Missing fields</a>.
 | 
						|
Missing fields are ignored to avoid having to rewrite objects before serializing. However, other schema rules would throw in similar situations.
 | 
						|
If *additionalProperties* is set to `true`, it will be used by `JSON.stringify` to stringify the additional properties. If you want to achieve maximum performance, we strongly encourage you to use a fixed schema where possible.
 | 
						|
The additional properties will always be serialzied at the end of the object.
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    nickname: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  patternProperties: {
 | 
						|
    'num': {
 | 
						|
      type: 'number'
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
    '.*foo$': {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  additionalProperties: {
 | 
						|
    type: 'string'
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const obj = {
 | 
						|
  nickname: 'nick',
 | 
						|
  matchfoo: 42,
 | 
						|
  otherfoo: 'str'
 | 
						|
  matchnum: 3,
 | 
						|
  nomatchstr: 'valar morghulis',
 | 
						|
  nomatchint: 313
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify(obj)) // '{"nickname":"nick","matchfoo":"42","otherfoo":"str","matchnum":3,"nomatchstr":"valar morghulis",nomatchint:"313"}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### AnyOf
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`fast-json-stringify` supports the anyOf keyword as defined by JSON schema. *anyOf* must be an array of valid JSON schemas. The different schemas will be tested in the specified order. The more schemas `stringify` has to try before finding a match, the slower it will be.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*anyOf* uses [ajv](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ajv) as a JSON schema validator to find the schema that matches the data. This has an impact on performance—only use it as a last resort.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    'undecidedType': {
 | 
						|
      'anyOf': [{
 | 
						|
	type: 'string'
 | 
						|
      }, {
 | 
						|
	type: 'boolean'
 | 
						|
      }]
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When specifying object JSON schemas for *anyOf*, add *required* validation keyword to match only the objects with the properties you want.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'array',
 | 
						|
  items: {
 | 
						|
    anyOf: [
 | 
						|
      {
 | 
						|
        type: 'object',
 | 
						|
        properties: {
 | 
						|
          savedId: { type: 'string' }
 | 
						|
        },
 | 
						|
        // without "required" validation any object will match
 | 
						|
        required: ['savedId']
 | 
						|
      },
 | 
						|
      {
 | 
						|
        type: 'object',
 | 
						|
        properties: {
 | 
						|
          error: { type: 'string' }
 | 
						|
        },
 | 
						|
        required: ['error']
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    ]
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="if-then-else"></a>
 | 
						|
#### If/then/else
 | 
						|
`fast-json-stringify` supports `if/then/else` jsonschema feature. See [ajv documentation](https://ajv.js.org/keywords.html#ifthenelse).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  'type': 'object',
 | 
						|
  'properties': {
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  'if': {
 | 
						|
    'properties': {
 | 
						|
      'kind': { 'type': 'string', 'enum': ['foobar'] }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  'then': {
 | 
						|
    'properties': {
 | 
						|
      'kind': { 'type': 'string', 'enum': ['foobar'] },
 | 
						|
      'foo': { 'type': 'string' },
 | 
						|
      'bar': { 'type': 'number' }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  'else': {
 | 
						|
    'properties': {
 | 
						|
      'kind': { 'type': 'string', 'enum': ['greeting'] },
 | 
						|
      'hi': { 'type': 'string' },
 | 
						|
      'hello': { 'type': 'number' }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify({
 | 
						|
  kind: 'greeting',
 | 
						|
  foo: 'FOO',
 | 
						|
  bar: 42,
 | 
						|
  hi: 'HI',
 | 
						|
  hello: 45
 | 
						|
})) // {"kind":"greeting","hi":"HI","hello":45}
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify({
 | 
						|
  kind: 'foobar',
 | 
						|
  foo: 'FOO',
 | 
						|
  bar: 42,
 | 
						|
  hi: 'HI',
 | 
						|
  hello: 45
 | 
						|
})) // {"kind":"foobar","foo":"FOO","bar":42}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**NB** Do not declare the properties twice or you will print them twice!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="ref"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Reuse - $ref
 | 
						|
If you want to reuse a definition of a value, you can use the property `$ref`.
 | 
						|
The value of `$ref` must be a string in [JSON Pointer](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901) format.
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const schema = {
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  definitions: {
 | 
						|
    num: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'object',
 | 
						|
      properties: {
 | 
						|
        int: {
 | 
						|
          type: 'integer'
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    },
 | 
						|
    str: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    nickname: {
 | 
						|
      $ref: '#/definitions/str'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },

  patternProperties: {
 | 
						|
    'num': {
 | 
						|
      $ref: '#/definitions/num'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  additionalProperties: {
 | 
						|
    $ref: '#/definitions/def'
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson(schema)
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
If you need to use an external definition, you can pass it as an option to `fast-json-stringify`.
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const schema = {
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    nickname: {
 | 
						|
      $ref: 'strings#/definitions/str'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  patternProperties: {
 | 
						|
    'num': {
 | 
						|
      $ref: 'numbers#/definitions/num'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  additionalProperties: {
 | 
						|
    $ref: 'strings#/definitions/def'
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const externalSchema = {
 | 
						|
  numbers: {
 | 
						|
    definitions: {
 | 
						|
      num: {
 | 
						|
        type: 'object',
 | 
						|
        properties: {
 | 
						|
          int: {
 | 
						|
            type: 'integer'
 | 
						|
          }
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  strings: require('./string-def.json')
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson(schema, { schema: externalSchema })
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
External definitions can also reference each other.
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const schema = {
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    foo: {
 | 
						|
      $ref: 'strings#/definitions/foo'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const externalSchema = {
 | 
						|
  strings: {
 | 
						|
    definitions: {
 | 
						|
      foo: {
 | 
						|
        $ref: 'things#/definitions/foo'
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  },
 | 
						|
  things: {
 | 
						|
    definitions: {
 | 
						|
      foo: {
 | 
						|
        type: 'string'
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson(schema, { schema: externalSchema })
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="long"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Long integers
 | 
						|
By default the library will automatically handle [BigInt](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/BigInt) from Node.js v10.3 and above.
 | 
						|
If you can't use BigInts in your environment, long integers (64-bit) are also supported using the [long](https://github.com/dcodeIO/long.js) module.
 | 
						|
Example:
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
// => using native BigInt
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    id: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'integer'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const obj = {
 | 
						|
  id: 18446744073709551615n
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify(obj)) // '{"id":18446744073709551615}'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// => using the long library
 | 
						|
const Long = require('long')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'Example Schema',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    id: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'integer'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const obj = {
 | 
						|
  id: Long.fromString('18446744073709551615', true)
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify(obj)) // '{"id":18446744073709551615}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="integer"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Integers
 | 
						|
The `type: integer` property will be truncated if a floating point is provided.
 | 
						|
You can customize this behaviour with the `rounding` option that will accept [`round`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/round), [`ceil`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/ceil) or [`floor`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/floor):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson(schema, { rounding: 'ceil' })
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<a name="nullable"></a>
 | 
						|
#### Nullable
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
According to the [Open API 3.0 specification](https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/data-types/#null), a value that can be null must be declared `nullable`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### Nullable object
 | 
						|
```javascript
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  'title': 'Nullable schema',
 | 
						|
  'type': 'object',
 | 
						|
  'nullable': true,
 | 
						|
  'properties': {
 | 
						|
    'product': {
 | 
						|
      'nullable': true,
 | 
						|
      'type': 'object',
 | 
						|
      'properties': {
 | 
						|
        'name': {
 | 
						|
          'type': 'string'
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
      }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify({product: {name: "hello"}})) // "{"product":{"name":"hello"}}"
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify({product: null})) // "{"product":null}"
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify(null)) // null
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Otherwise, instead of raising an error, null values will be coerced as follows:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `integer` -> `0`
 | 
						|
- `number` -> `0`
 | 
						|
- `string` -> `""`
 | 
						|
- `boolean` -> `false`
 | 
						|

## Security notice
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Treat the schema definition as application code, it
 | 
						|
is not safe to use user-provided schemas.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In order to achieve lowest cost/highest performance redaction `fast-json-stringify`
 | 
						|
creates and compiles a function (using the `Function` constructor) on initialization.
 | 
						|
While the `schema` is currently validated for any developer errors,
 | 
						|
there is no guarantee that supplying user-generated schema could not
 | 
						|
expose your application to remote attacks.
 | 
						|

<a name="debug"></a>
 | 
						|
### Debug Mode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The debug mode can be activated during your development to understand what is going on when things do not
 | 
						|
work as you expect.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const debugCompiled = fastJson({
 | 
						|
  title: 'default string',
 | 
						|
  type: 'object',
 | 
						|
  properties: {
 | 
						|
    firstName: {
 | 
						|
      type: 'string'
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}, { debugMode: true })
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
console.log(debugCompiled) // it is an array of functions that can create your `stringify` function
 | 
						|
console.log(debugCompiled.toString()) // print a "ready to read" string function, you can save it to a file
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
const rawString = debugCompiled.toString()
 | 
						|
const stringify = fastJson.restore(rawString) // use the generated string to get back the `stringify` function
 | 
						|
console.log(stringify({ firstName: 'Foo', surname: 'bar' })) // '{"firstName":"Foo"}'
 | 
						|
```
