props
a module for node that is able to extract either JSON or YAML from the beginning of a string
Installation
npm install props or npm install -g props
Usage
var props = ; // Use JSON var json ='{\n\ "title": "How to use node.js",\n\ "date": "2011-08-09T17:56:00",\n\ "tags": [ "example", "node.js" ]\n\}\n\\n\\n\Node.js is a new technology...'; console; // or YAML var yaml ='title: How to use node.js\n\date: 2011-08-09T17:56:00\n\tags:\n\ - example\n\ - node.js\n\\n\\n\Node.js is a new technology...'; console;This will print nearly the same object twice, since json and yaml define the
same object:
JSON:
title: 'How to use node.js' date: '2011-08-09T17:56:00' tags: 'example' 'node.js' __content: 'Node.js is a new technology...' YAML:
title: 'How to use node.js' date: Tue 09 Aug 2011 15:56:00 GMT tags: 'example' 'node.js' __content: 'Node.js is a new technology...' The difference is that, due to it's JS implementation, the Date is parsed in the YAML version.
The JSON/YAML part has to be always seperated from the content by three
newline characters (\n\n\n or \r\n\r\n\r\n).
