# Bourne. JSON Bourne. | |
`JSON.parse()` drop-in replacement with prototype poisoning protection | |
[](https://travis-ci.org/hapijs/bourne) | |
## Introduction | |
Consider this: | |
``` | |
> const a = '{"__proto__":{ "b":5}}'; | |
'{"__proto__":{ "b":5}}' | |
> const b = JSON.parse(a); | |
{ __proto__: { b: 5 } } | |
> b.b; | |
undefined | |
> const c = Object.assign({}, b); | |
{} | |
> c.b | |
5 | |
``` | |
The problem is that `JSON.parse()` retains the `__proto__` property as a plain object key. By | |
itself, this is not a security issue. However, as soon as that object is assigned to another or | |
iterated on and values copied, the `__proto__` property leaks and becomes the object's prototype. | |
## API | |
### `Bourne.parse(text, [reviver], [options])` | |
Parses a given JSON-formatted text into an object where: | |
- `text` - the JSON text string. | |
- `reviver` - the `JSON.parse()` optional `reviver` argument. | |
- `options` - optional configuration object where: | |
- `protoAction` - optional string with one of: | |
- `'error'` - throw a `SyntaxError` when a `__proto__` key is found. This is the default value. | |
- `'remove'` - deletes any `__proto__` keys from the result object. | |
- `'ignore'` - skips all validation (same as calling `JSON.parse()` directly). | |
### `Bourne.scan(obj, [options])` | |
Scans a given object for prototype properties where: | |
- `obj` - the object being scanned. | |
- `options` - optional configuration object where: | |
- `protoAction` - optional string with one of: | |
- `'error'` - throw a `SyntaxError` when a `__proto__` key is found. This is the default value. | |
- `'remove'` - deletes any `__proto__` keys from the input `obj`. | |
