library0.0.1jsnpmunverified

zser is a security-oriented serialization format with novel authentication properties based on Merkleized data structures. The JavaScript/TypeScript implementation (version 0.0.1) targets ES2017+ and provides parsing and serialization APIs. It is currently in early development with no recent updates. The library ships TypeScript types and is designed for use cases requiring authenticated data serialization, such as credential and token handling.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import zser from 'zser'

✗ const zser = require('zser')

ESM-only; CommonJS require is not supported.

Zser

✓ import { Zser } from 'zser'

Named export for the main class.

ParseOptions

✓ import type { ParseOptions } from 'zser'

Type import for TypeScript users.

Parses a Uint8Array into an object and serializes an object back to Uint8Array, with hex encoding/decoding.

import zser from 'zser'; import { Buffer } from 'node:buffer'; // Assume we have a Uint8Array containing a serialized zser message const message = new Uint8Array([0x15, 0x07, 0x02, 0x03, 0x55]); // Parse the message const parsed = zser.parse(message); console.log(parsed); // { '1': { '24': 42 } } // Serialize an object const obj = { foo: { bar: [1, 2, 3] } }; const serialized = zser.serialize(obj); console.log(serialized); // Uint8Array // Encode/decode to/from hex string const hex = zser.encode(serialized); console.log(hex); // hex string const decoded = zser.decode(hex); console.log(decoded); // Uint8Array

Debug

Known issues

breakingThis library is targeting ES2017 and may require transpilation for older environments.

fix

Use a transpiler like Babel with ES2017 preset, or upgrade your runtime.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe library is in early development (v0.0.1) and the API may change without notice.

fix

Pin to a specific version and test thoroughly before upgrading.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe default export is zser, but there is also a named export Zser. Depending on the bundler, import { Zser } may yield undefined if only default is provided.

fix

Use default import unless you are sure your bundler handles both.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: zser.parse is not a function

Misunderstanding of import: using named import where default import is needed.

fix

Change import { zser } from 'zser' to import zser from 'zser'.

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

Using CommonJS require() on an ESModule package.

fix

Switch to ES module imports: import zser from 'zser'.

ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined

Browser environment missing Node.js Buffer.

fix

Use Uint8Array directly instead of Buffer, or include a polyfill.
