Fastest Stable Stringify is a JavaScript library designed to provide the fastest deterministic JSON serialization possible. Both version 2.0.1 and the prior 1.0.1 offer stable and consistent stringification, ensuring that the order of properties in the resulting JSON string is predictable, regardless of the original object's property order. This is crucial for scenarios like generating cache keys, comparing objects, and creating digital signatures where consistent output is paramount.
The key appeal lies in its performance, striving to be the "fastest" among stable stringifiers. While both share identical dependencies and development tools like benchmark for performance testing, eslint for code linting, and nyc for coverage reports, there are subtle differences. Version 2.0.1, released on May 10, 2018, features a slightly smaller file count in the distributed tarball (16 files versus 17 in 1.0.1). Additionally, 2.0.1 has a larger unpacked size (15717 bytes compared to 15278 bytes in 1.0.1), suggesting minor code adjustments or potential optimization efforts. These changes could reflect bug fixes, performance enhancements, or modifications to internal modules. For developers, upgrading from 1.0.1 to 2.0.1 should be seamless in terms of API compatibility, offering a possibly faster and more refined stable stringification solution. If consistency and speed in JSON serialization are important for your Javascript applications, this library is definitely worth trying.
