Normalizr: Open-Source Data Normalization Utility for JavaScript

An open-source data normalization utility for JavaScript, helping normalize nested JSON data into flat models with unique IDs assigned to each entity.

What is Normalizr?

Normalizr is an open-source JavaScript library that helps normalize and flatten nested JSON data, making it easier to work with in web and mobile applications. It was created by Dan Abramov and others as part of the Redux library ecosystem.

Normalizr takes JSON data with complex, nested structures and flattens all the entities into a normalized shape with unique IDs assigned to each entity. For example, if you had a nested JSON structure representing blog posts and comments, Normalizr would split these out into separate post and comment entities with IDs, linked together by relations.

Some key features and benefits of Normalizr include:

• Simplifies working with relational and nested data in Redux and other apps
• Generates a normalized state for easier caching, querying, and data manipulation
• Defines relationships between different entities via foreign keys
• Works well with immutable data patterns
• Light-weight library with no dependencies

Overall, Normalizr helps streamline working with complex JSON data in JavaScript web apps by imposing a flat, normalized structure on the data. It reduces duplication, improves consistency, and makes it easier to cache and query the data in applications like Redux that need to minimize app state data.
