						- # fast-json-stable-stringify
 - 
 - Deterministic `JSON.stringify()` - a faster version of [@substack](https://github.com/substack)'s json-stable-strigify without [jsonify](https://github.com/substack/jsonify).
 - 
 - You can also pass in a custom comparison function.

 - # example
 - 
 - ``` js
 - var stringify = require('fast-json-stable-stringify');
 - var obj = { c: 8, b: [{z:6,y:5,x:4},7], a: 3 };
 - console.log(stringify(obj));
 - ```
 - 
 - output:
 - 
 - ```
 - {"a":3,"b":[{"x":4,"y":5,"z":6},7],"c":8}
 - ```
 - 
 - 
 - # methods
 - 
 - ``` js
 - var stringify = require('fast-json-stable-stringify')
 - ```
 - 
 - ## var str = stringify(obj, opts)
 - 
 - Return a deterministic stringified string `str` from the object `obj`.
 - 
 - 
 - ## options
 - 
 - ### cmp
 - 
 - If `opts` is given, you can supply an `opts.cmp` to have a custom comparison
 - function for object keys. Your function `opts.cmp` is called with these
 - parameters:
 - 
 - ``` js
 - opts.cmp({ key: akey, value: avalue }, { key: bkey, value: bvalue })
 - ```
 - 
 - For example, to sort on the object key names in reverse order you could write:
 - 
 - ``` js
 - var stringify = require('fast-json-stable-stringify');
 - 
 - var obj = { c: 8, b: [{z:6,y:5,x:4},7], a: 3 };
 - var s = stringify(obj, function (a, b) {
 -     return a.key < b.key ? 1 : -1;
 - });
 - console.log(s);
 - ```
 - 
 - which results in the output string:
 - 
 - ```
 - {"c":8,"b":[{"z":6,"y":5,"x":4},7],"a":3}
 - ```
 - 
 - Or if you wanted to sort on the object values in reverse order, you could write:
 - 
 - ```
 - var stringify = require('fast-json-stable-stringify');
 - 
 - var obj = { d: 6, c: 5, b: [{z:3,y:2,x:1},9], a: 10 };
 - var s = stringify(obj, function (a, b) {
 -     return a.value < b.value ? 1 : -1;
 - });
 - console.log(s);
 - ```
 - 
 - which outputs:
 - 
 - ```
 - {"d":6,"c":5,"b":[{"z":3,"y":2,"x":1},9],"a":10}
 - ```
 - 
 - ### cycles
 - 
 - Pass `true` in `opts.cycles` to stringify circular property as `__cycle__` - the result will not be a valid JSON string in this case.
 - 
 - TypeError will be thrown in case of circular object without this option.
 - 
 - 
 - # install
 - 
 - With [npm](https://npmjs.org) do:
 - 
 - ```
