ssb-json-parse-native

Node bindings to parse ssb messages

Provides methods to serialize / deserialize ssb-messages. Supports json and cbor serialisation / derserialisation. This is really just a node wrapper around legacy-msg-data

API

var {parseJson, toJson, parseCbor, toCbor} = require('ssb-json-parse-native')

parseJson(jsonString)

Returns a js object. Identical to JSON.parse but slower (for now)

parseCbor(cborBuffer)

Returns a js object. Must be passed a buffer.

toJson(messageObject)

Returns a string. Identical to JSON.stringify but slower (for now)

toCbor(messageObject)

Returns a buffer.

Install

With npm installed, run

$ npm install ssb-json-parse-native

Building

Build for your environment

Dev Dependencies:

• rust + cargo
• cargo-make
• cmake

$ npm run prebuild

Cross compile

Dev Dependencies

• same as above
• cross
• dockcross

Cross compiling is still a work in progress. Still todo:

• split out scripts to cross in build-native.sh
• add script to tar up cross compiled binding with correct prebuild compatible filename
• windows builds don't work
• 32bit builds don't work because of a small issue in ssb-legacy-msg-data
