dered

Deredundantize JSON data before transmitting it.

Useful when you have a huge array containing the same datastructure over and over again.

[
	{
		"long_key1": "value1",
		"long_key2": "value2"
	},
	{
		"long_key1": "value3",
		"long_key2": "value4"
	},
	[…]
	{
		"long_key1": "value7",
		"long_key2": "value8"
	},
	{
		"long_key1": "value9",
		"long_key2": "value10"
	}
]

becomes

{
	"δ": [
		["long_key1", "long_key2"],
		[
			["value1", "value2"],
			["value3", "value4"],
			["value7", "value8"],
			["value9", "value10"]
		]
	]
}

npm i dered

Require

const dered = require('dered');
