json-keys-sort

Sorting a json object based on keys either ascending or descending & even recursively

Example -

Note : focus on keys not values

const json = require('json-keys-sort');  
var data = {  
               "zoho": 4,  
               "drake": 2,  
               "yogo": {  
                   "jout": "3.2",  
                   "aou": {  
                       "yoyo": "3.1.3",  
                       "aalo": "3.1.1",  
                       "go": "3.1.2"  
                   }  
               },  
               "abc": 1  
           }  
  
json.sort(data,true)  

Output will be -

{  
               "abc": 1,  
               "drake": 2,  
               "yogo": {                     
                   "aou": {  
                       "aalo": "3.1.1",  
                       "go": "3.1.2",  
                       "yoyo": "3.1.3"                                               
                   },  
                   "jout": "3.2"  
               },  
               "zoho": 4  
           }  

• function parameters
  • data : the json object to sort
  • sort :
    • true (default) : ascending sort , since it is default you can only call json.sort(data)
    • false : descending sort

Note : the function assumes that you always provide a json object

• The function work recursively and sort all the inner json objects too.

Versions
