Sort JSON: Fix Unordered JSON Strings
There are two main methods to solve the problem of disorder in JSON strings.
- Sort a JSON object using the `JSON.stringify()` method and a custom sorting function.
const jsonStr = JSON.stringify(jsonObj, (key, value) => {
if (typeof value === 'object' && !Array.isArray(value)) {
return Object.keys(value).sort().reduce((sorted, key) => {
sorted[key] = value[key];
return sorted;
}, {});
}
return value;
});
This ensures that the key-value pairs in the generated JSON string are arranged in alphabetical order of keys.
- Utilize a stable stringification method, such as the replacer function of JSON.stringify() or third-party libraries like fast-json-stable-stringify.
const fastJsonStringify = require('fast-json-stable-stringify');
const sortedJsonStr = fastJsonStringify(jsonObj);
This method ensures that the generated JSON strings will have consistent sorting results across different environments.
