Json-Node-Normalizer

NodeJS module that normalize json data types from json schema specifications.

Features

• Convert / Cast Json Node type to another type :
  • From Json Schema Specifications
  • From Json Path
• Supported types :
  • string
  • number , integer
  • array
  • boolean
• Json Schema $Ref / Definitions support

Installation

Add the latest version of json-node-normalizer to your package.json:

npm install json-node-normalizer --save

Node.js Usage

const JsonNodeNormalizer = require('json-node-normalizer');
const normalizedJson = await JsonNodeNormalizer.normalize(jsonData, jsonSchema);

Use case

We have a json object with incorrect type formats :

const jsonData = {
   "fields":{
      "id": 123, // Must be a string
      "name":"my_name",
      "firstName":"firstName",
      "age": "31", // Must be a number
      "phone": "33600000010", // Must be a number
      "orders":{ // Must be an array
         "label": "first_order"
      },
      "active": "true" // Must be a boolean
   }
}

We want to normalize json object to match with a Json Schema :

const jsonSchema = {
   "fields":{
      "type":"object",
      "properties":{
         "id":{
            "type":"string"
         },
         "name":{
            "type":"string"
         },
         "firstName":{
            "type":"string"
         },
         "age":{
            "type":"number"
         },
         "phone":{
            "type":"integer"
         },
         "orders":{
            "type":"array",
            "items":{
               "label":{
                  "type":"string"
               }
            }
         },
         "active":{
            "type":"boolean"
         }
      }
   }
}

We can use JsonNodeNormalizer to normalize our json data :

const JsonNodeNormalizer = require('json-node-normalizer');
const result = await JsonNodeNormalizer.normalize(jsonData, jsonSchema);

Result :

result = {
   "fields":{
      "id": 123,
      "name": "my_name",
      "firstName": "firstName",
      "age": 31,
      "phone": 33600000010,
      "orders":{
         "label": "first_order"
      },
      "active": true
   }
}

Normalize node(s) from path (Without Json-Schema)

You can also use normalizePath method if you do not want to use the schema json.

const { JsonNodeNormalizer, NodeTypes } = require('json-node-normalizer');
let normalizedJson = JsonNodeNormalizer.normalizePath(jsonData, '.fields.id', NodeTypes.NUMBER_TYPE);
normalizedJson = JsonNodeNormalizer.normalizePath(jsonData, '.fields.orders', NodeTypes.ARRAY_TYPE);
normalizedJson = JsonNodeNormalizer.normalizePath(jsonData, '.fields.orders[*].label', NodeTypes.STRING_TYPE);

// You can also normalize each element with name 'active' for example...
normalizedJson = JsonNodeNormalizer.normalizePath(jsonData, '..active', NodeTypes.BOOLEAN_TYPE);

JsonPath Documentation

See https://github.com/json-path/JsonPath for more information about JsonPath expressions.

Logging Level

Log events can have different severity levels - in some cases, you just want to log events with at least a warning level, sometimes log lines have to be more verbose.

Each level is given a specific integer priority. The higher the priority the more important the message is considered to be.

Level Priority debug 4 info (default) 2 error 0

By default the logging level is set to 'info'.

You can override the logging level by setting the JSON_NODE_NORMALIZER_LOGGING_LEVEL environment variable.
