 # json-canonicalization
 An implementation of the JSON Canonicalization Scheme for Ruby
+
+Implements version 5 of [draft-rundgren-json-canonicalization-scheme-05](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rundgren-json-canonicalization-scheme-05#page-5).
+
+[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/json-canonicalization.png)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/json-canonicalization)
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dryruby/json-canonicalization.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/dryruby/json-canonicalization)
+[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/dryruby/json-canonicalization/badge.svg)](https://coveralls.io/r/dryruby/json-canonicalization)
+
+# Description
+
+Cryptographic operations like hashing and signing depend on that the target 
+data does not change during serialization, transport, or parsing. 
+By applying the rules defined by JCS (JSON Canonicalization Scheme), 
+data provided in the JSON [[RFC8259](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259)]
+format can be exchanged "as is", while still being subject to secure cryptographic operations.
+JCS achieves this by building on the serialization formats for JSON
+primitives as defined by ECMAScript [[ES6](https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/index.html)],
+constraining JSON data to the<br>I-JSON [[RFC7493](https://tools.ietf.org/html//rfc7493)] subset,
+and through a platform independent property sorting scheme.
+
+Working document: https://cyberphone.github.io/ietf-json-canon<br>
+Published IETF Draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rundgren-json-canonicalization-scheme-05
+
+The JSON Canonicalization Scheme concept in a nutshell:
+- Serialization of primitive JSON data types using methods compatible with ECMAScript's `JSON.stringify()`
+- Lexicographic sorting of JSON `Object` properties in a *recursive* process
+- JSON `Array` data is also subject to canonicalization, *but element order remains untouched*
+
+### Sample Input:
+```code
+{
+  "numbers": [333333333.33333329, 1E30, 4.50, 2e-3, 0.000000000000000000000000001],
+  "string": "\u20ac$\u000F\u000aA'\u0042\u0022\u005c\\\"\/",
+  "literals": [null, true, false]
+}
+```
+### Expected Output:
+```code
+{"literals":[null,true,false],"numbers":[333333333.3333333,1e+30,4.5,0.002,1e-27],"string":"€$\u000f\nA'B\"\\\\\"/"}
+```
+## Usage
+The library accepts Ruby input and generates canonical JSON via the `#to_json_c14n` method. This is based on the standard JSON gem's version of `#to_json` with overloads for `Hash`, `String` and `Numeric`
+
+```ruby
+data = {
+  "numbers" => [
+    333333333.3333333,
+    1.0e+30,
+    4.5,
+    0.002,
+    1.0e-27
+  ],
+  "string" => "€$\u000F\nA'B\"\\\\\"/",
+  "literals" => [nil, true, false]
+}
+
+puts data.to_json_c14n
+=> 
+```

+
+## Contributing
+* Do your best to adhere to the existing coding conventions and idioms.
+* Don't use hard tabs, and don't leave trailing whitespace on any line.
+* Do document every method you add using [YARD][] annotations. Read the
+  [tutorial][YARD-GS] or just look at the existing code for examples.
+* Don't touch the `json-ld.gemspec`, `VERSION` or `AUTHORS` files. If you need to
+  change them, do so on your private branch only.
+* Do feel free to add yourself to the `CREDITS` file and the corresponding
+  list in the the `README`. Alphabetical order applies.
+* Do note that in order for us to merge any non-trivial changes (as a rule
+  of thumb, additions larger than about 15 lines of code), we need an
+  explicit [public domain dedication][PDD] on record from you.
