๐Ÿฆ v0.0.0-dev.3 — Navigating with Style

๐Ÿฆ v0.0.0-dev.3 — Navigating with Style We’re thrilled to release   v0.0.0-dev.3   of   @fizzwiz/vanilla , building on the foundations from previous prereleases. This version introduces   declarative exploration and enhanced object navigation : Search integration:   ObjNavigator   now includes a   search()   method powered by   @fizzwiz/prism , enabling   fluent, declarative traversal   of nested objects. New utilities:   delete()   and   select()   provide convenient ways to remove or filter nested entries. ๐Ÿงช As with prior prereleases, this version is experimental and intended for exploration and feedback. Your input is invaluable in shaping the library’s future direction. Next steps:   Try out   search()   for declarative object exploration and test the new   delete()   and   select()   helpers. Let us know your experiences! ๐Ÿ‘‰   ๐Ÿฆ —   @fizzwiz   ✨

๐Ÿฆ v0.0.0-dev.2 — Sweet Refinements

๐Ÿฆ v0.0.0-dev.2 — Sweet Refinements We’re excited to release   v0.0.0-dev.2   of   @fizzwiz/vanilla , continuing to polish the foundation laid by the   First Brick   (v0.0.0-dev.1). This update focuses on   cleaning up inconsistencies and making the API smoother : Documentation & typos:   Fixed minor inconsistencies between the code and the docs, ensuring clarity and correctness. New alias:   The method   within()   now also responds to the shorter, more intuitive alias   with() , making scoped navigation even cleaner. ๐Ÿงช As with previous prereleases, this version is meant for exploration and feedback. Your suggestions help shape the library’s future features and usability. Next steps:   Experiment with the library, and let us know how it feels! ๐Ÿ‘‰   ๐Ÿฆ —   @fizzwiz   ✨

๐Ÿงฑ v0.0.0-dev.1 — First Brick

๐Ÿงฑ v0.0.0-dev.1 — First Brick We’re thrilled to announce the   first prerelease   of   @fizzwiz/vanilla :   v0.0.0-dev.1   — the   First Brick   laying the foundation for a library dedicated to   providing lightweight semantics for working with plain JSON objects . This release unveils the core abstractions:   OptionStore   and   ObjNavigator . OptionStore:   Store and retrieve options by type, with automatic lookup along an instance’s prototype chain. ObjNavigator:   Navigate and manipulate nested objects safely and intuitively, supporting scoped navigation with   within()   and returning to the parent with   without() . ๐Ÿงช This is a   prerelease , intended for exploration and feedback. Your early experiences and suggestions will help shape the API and future features. "Let’s build clear, maintainable JSON semantics — together." —   @fizzwiz ✨

๐ŸŒ Plain JavaScript Objects — the True Language of Distributed Systems

  ๐ŸŒ Plain JavaScript Objects — the True Language of Distributed Systems When designing distributed or asynchronous systems — systems that exchange data between independent nodes, peers, or services — we discover one powerful truth: The most universal data structure in JavaScript is the plain object. Whether you call it a   map ,   record , or   JSON structure , the plain object ( {} ) is the simplest, most portable form of state. It is naturally serializable, easy to merge, and readable across all programming environments. And yet, many developers instinctively reach for   classes and types   when defining system state — especially configuration or metadata. But in asynchronous workflows, this introduces unnecessary coupling and complexity. Let’s unpack why   plain, vanilla objects   are more valuable than class-based structures in distributed environments — and how a lightweight library like   @fizzwiz/vanilla   makes this philosophy p...
