Client side JSV parsing

I see references to this file here JSV.js but it appears to be a dead link. Is there an NPM package we can install to get JSV format support in our front-end typescript project?

You can get JSV.js from an older v5.4 release tag but we don’t recommend using JSV.js in JavaScript since using the native JSON parses in JavaScript is more efficient and interoperable.

So we are using your IMeta to store pieces of data on some objects. We want to send those objects to the client-side, and be able to deserialize the Meta properties back into objects the client-side can easily access.

What do you suggest?

You could just serialize it to a JSON string, or if it’s a flat structure you could serialize it into key/value pairs like in a URL query string:

export const appendQueryString = (url: string, args: any): string => {
    for (let k in args) {
        if (args.hasOwnProperty(k)) {
            url += url.indexOf("?") >= 0 ? "&" : "?";
            url += k + "=" + qsValue(args[k]);
        }
    }
    return url;
};
