Proto messages doesn't always produce canonical JSONs
See original GitHub issueThe generated code for some types (e.g. Timestamp or enum) contain toJson
and toJsonString
methods. These seems to work when passing a Protobuf message object to JSON.stringify
. But, when passing an object which contain such object as a property, this doesn’t work as intended.
In our case Timestamp
is serialized as an object of seconds
and nanos
and enums will serialize into their numbers.
We solved it by passing a replacer
to JSON.stringify
like:
body: JSON.stringify(
body, (_, value) => value?.toJson ? value.toJson() : value
),
According to MDN’s docs JSON.stringify
looks for the method toJSON
and not toJson
or toJsonString
. Am I missing something?
