I have a JSON object and I'm converting it to a Buffer
and doing some process here. Later I want to convert the same buffer data to convert to valid JSON object.
I'm working on Node V6.9.1
Below is the code I tried but I'm getting [object object]
when I convert back to JSON and cannot open this object.
var obj = {
key:'value',
key:'value',
key:'value',
key:'value',
key:'value'
}
var buf = new Buffer.from(obj.toString());
console.log('Real Buffer ' + buf); //This prints --> Real Buffer <Buffer 5b 6f 62 6a 65 63 74>
var temp = buf.toString();
console.log('Buffer to String ' + buf); //This prints --> Buffer to String [object Object]
So I tried to print whole object using inspect way
console.log('Full temp ' + require('util').inspect(buf, { depth: null })); //This prints --> '[object object]' [not printing the obj like declared above]
If i try to read it like an array
console.log(buf[0]); // This prints --> [
I tried parsing also it throw SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 2
I need to view it as real object like I created (I mean like declared above).
Please help..
You need to stringify the json, not calling toString
var buf = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(obj));
And for converting string to json obj :
var temp = JSON.parse(buf.toString());
