RFC 8785 JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS).
Produces the deterministic byte string that all co-signatures and bundle signatures attest: same logical content, same bytes, for any conforming implementation. The rules implemented here:
- object keys sorted by UTF-16 code unit sequence;
- no insignificant whitespace;
- strings serialized with the JSON minimal-escape set (
\b \t \n \f \r\"\\and lowercase\u00xxfor other control characters), all other characters emitted verbatim as UTF-8; - numbers: integers exactly; floats in shortest round-trip form
(ECMAScript number-to-string), negative zero normalized to
0, NaN and infinities rejected; - booleans and null as
true/false/null.
Functions§
