github.com/node-steam/vdf @2.2.0

VDF.parse(text: string)

Parse a VDF string into a JSON object

const string = `
"string"          "string"
"false"           "false"
"true"            "true"
"number"          "1234"
"float"           "12.34"
"null"            "null"
"undefined"       "undefined"
"nested"
{
    "string"      "string"
    "deep"
    {
        "string"  "string"
    }
}
`;

const object = VDF.parse(string);

// or

const object = parse(string);

> {
    string:     'string',
    false:      false,
    true:       true,
    number:     1234,
    float:      12.34,
    null:       null,
    undefined:  undefined,
    nested: {
        string: 'string',
        deep: {
            string: 'string',
        },
    },
};

VDF.stringify(object: object)

Parse a JSON object into a VDF string

const object = {
    string:     'string',
    false:      false,
    true:       true,
    number:     1234,
    float:      12.34,
    null:       null,
    undefined:  undefined,
    nested: {
        string: 'string',
        deep: {
            string: 'string',
        },
    },
};

const string = VDF.stringify(object);

// or

const string = stringify(object);

> `
"string"          "string"
"false"           "false"
"true"            "true"
"number"          "1234"
"float"           "12.34"
"null"            "null"
"undefined"       "undefined"
"nested"
{
    "string"      "string"
    "deep"
    {
        "string"  "string"
    }
}
`;

Differences from simple-vdf

• Correct parsing of booleans, numbers, null and undefined (>= v2.0.0)
• ES6 // Typescript syntax
• Typescript definitions
• Modern ES6 tests
