Advanced JavaScript Object Serialization

replicator is a JavaScript library designed for advanced object serialization, addressing limitations of standard JSON.stringify. It currently stands at version 1.0.5, with an active release cadence indicated by recent patch versions. A key differentiator is its ability to correctly handle circular references within objects, preventing common serialization errors. Beyond standard JSON-serializable types, replicator offers built-in support for a wide array of JavaScript objects including `undefined`, `NaN`, `Date`, `RegExp`, `Error`, `Map`, `Set`, `ArrayBuffer`, and various Typed Arrays. This makes it suitable for complex data structures that would otherwise require manual transformation before serialization. Furthermore, the library is highly extensible, allowing developers to define custom type transforms to serialize and deserialize any bespoke object types. It is also agnostic to the underlying serialization format, enabling its use with JSON, BSON, Protobuf, or other encoders. This flexibility allows it to be adapted for diverse application needs, from IPC in Node.js to storing complex state in the browser.
