Kitsu Core JSON:API (De)serializer

kitsu-core is a compact and framework-agnostic JavaScript/TypeScript library designed for the (de)serialization of JSON:API 1.0 compliant data structures. Currently in its 11.x stable release cycle, with version 11.1.1 being the latest, the project demonstrates an active development and release cadence, often publishing minor and patch updates within weeks or months. Its core differentiators include strict adherence to the JSON:API specification, automatic linking of relationships, and a zero-dependency footprint, making it highly tree-shakeable and suitable for both Node.js and browser environments. Recent updates have focused on significant performance improvements for large datasets (up to 1,000 times faster deserialization in v11.0.2) and introducing opt-in data hoisting features, allowing for more flexible data structuring post-deserialization. The library emphasizes minimal bundle size and broad modern environment compatibility.
