+# jsprim: utilities for primitive JavaScript types
+
+This module provides miscellaneous facilities for working with strings,
+numbers, dates, and objects and arrays of these basic types.
+
+
+### deepCopy(obj)
+
+Creates a deep copy of a primitive type, object, or array of primitive types.
+
+
+### deepEqual(obj1, obj2)
+
+Returns whether two objects are equal.
+
+
+### isEmpty(obj)
+
+Returns true if the given object has no properties and false otherwise. This
+is O(1) (unlike `Object.keys(obj).length === 0`, which is O(N)).
+
+### hasKey(obj, key)
+
+Returns true if the given object has an enumerable, non-inherited property
+called `key`. [For information on enumerability and ownership of properties, see
+the MDN
+documentation.](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Enumerability_and_ownership_of_properties)
+
+### forEachKey(obj, callback)
+
+Like Array.forEach, but iterates enumerable, owned properties of an object
+rather than elements of an array. Equivalent to:
+
+ for (var key in obj) {
+ if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(obj, key)) {
+ callback(key, obj[key]);
+ }
+ }
+
+
+### flattenObject(obj, depth)
+
+Flattens an object up to a given level of nesting, returning an array of arrays
+of length "depth + 1", where the first "depth" elements correspond to flattened
+columns and the last element contains the remaining object . For example:
+
+ flattenObject({
+ 'I': {
+ 'A': {
+ 'i': {
+ 'datum1': [ 1, 2 ],
+ 'datum2': [ 3, 4 ]
+ },
+ 'ii': {
+ 'datum1': [ 3, 4 ]
+ }
+ },
+ 'B': {
+ 'i': {
+ 'datum1': [ 5, 6 ]
+ },
+ 'ii': {
+ 'datum1': [ 7, 8 ],
+ 'datum2': [ 3, 4 ],
+ },
+ 'iii': {
+ }
+ }
+ },
+ 'II': {
+ 'A': {
+ 'i': {
+ 'datum1': [ 1, 2 ],
+ 'datum2': [ 3, 4 ]
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }, 3)
+
+becomes:
+
+ [
+ [ 'I', 'A', 'i', { 'datum1': [ 1, 2 ], 'datum2': [ 3, 4 ] } ],
+ [ 'I', 'A', 'ii', { 'datum1': [ 3, 4 ] } ],
+ [ 'I', 'B', 'i', { 'datum1': [ 5, 6 ] } ],
+ [ 'I', 'B', 'ii', { 'datum1': [ 7, 8 ], 'datum2': [ 3, 4 ] } ],
+ [ 'I', 'B', 'iii', {} ],
+ [ 'II', 'A', 'i', { 'datum1': [ 1, 2 ], 'datum2': [ 3, 4 ] } ]
+ ]
+
+This function is strict: "depth" must be a non-negative integer and "obj" must
+be a non-null object with at least "depth" levels of nesting under all keys.
+
+
+### flattenIter(obj, depth, func)
+
+This is similar to `flattenObject` except that instead of returning an array,
+this function invokes `func(entry)` for each `entry` in the array that
+`flattenObject` would return. `flattenIter(obj, depth, func)` is logically
+equivalent to `flattenObject(obj, depth).forEach(func)`. Importantly, this
+version never constructs the full array. Its memory usage is O(depth) rather
+than O(n) (where `n` is the number of flattened elements).
+
+There's another difference between `flattenObject` and `flattenIter` that's
+related to the special case where `depth === 0`. In this case, `flattenObject`
+omits the array wrapping `obj` (which is regrettable).
+
+
+### pluck(obj, key)
+
+Fetch nested property "key" from object "obj", traversing objects as needed.
+For example, `pluck(obj, "foo.bar.baz")` is roughly equivalent to
+`obj.foo.bar.baz`, except that:
+
+1. If traversal fails, the resulting value is undefined, and no error is
+ thrown. For example, `pluck({}, "foo.bar")` is just undefined.
+2. If "obj" has property "key" directly (without traversing), the
+ corresponding property is returned. For example,
+ `pluck({ 'foo.bar': 1 }, 'foo.bar')` is 1, not undefined. This is also
+ true recursively, so `pluck({ 'a': { 'foo.bar': 1 } }, 'a.foo.bar')` is
+ also 1, not undefined.
+
+
+### randElt(array)
+
+Returns an element from "array" selected uniformly at random. If "array" is
+empty, throws an Error.
+
+
+### startsWith(str, prefix)
+
+Returns true if the given string starts with the given prefix and false
+otherwise.
+
+
+### endsWith(str, suffix)
+
+Returns true if the given string ends with the given suffix and false
+otherwise.
+
+
+### parseInteger(str, options)
+
+Parses the contents of `str` (a string) as an integer. On success, the integer
+value is returned (as a number). On failure, an error is **returned** describing
+why parsing failed.
+
+By default, leading and trailing whitespace characters are not allowed, nor are
+trailing characters that are not part of the numeric representation. This
+behaviour can be toggled by using the options below. The empty string (`''`) is
+not considered valid input. If the return value cannot be precisely represented
+as a number (i.e., is smaller than `Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER` or larger than
+`Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`), an error is returned. Additionally, the string
+`'-0'` will be parsed as the integer `0`, instead of as the IEEE floating point
+value `-0`.
+
+This function accepts both upper and lowercase characters for digits, similar to
+`parseInt()`, `Number()`, and [strtol(3C)](https://illumos.org/man/3C/strtol).
+
+The following may be specified in `options`:
+
+Option | Type | Default | Meaning
+------------------ | ------- | ------- | ---------------------------
+base | number | 10 | numeric base (radix) to use, in the range 2 to 36
+allowSign | boolean | true | whether to interpret any leading `+` (positive) and `-` (negative) characters
+allowImprecise | boolean | false | whether to accept values that may have lost precision (past `MAX_SAFE_INTEGER` or below `MIN_SAFE_INTEGER`)
+allowPrefix | boolean | false | whether to interpret the prefixes `0b` (base 2), `0o` (base 8), `0t` (base 10), or `0x` (base 16)
+allowTrailing | boolean | false | whether to ignore trailing characters
+trimWhitespace | boolean | false | whether to trim any leading or trailing whitespace/line terminators
+leadingZeroIsOctal | boolean | false | whether a leading zero indicates octal
+
+Note that if `base` is unspecified, and `allowPrefix` or `leadingZeroIsOctal`
+are, then the leading characters can change the default base from 10. If `base`
+is explicitly specified and `allowPrefix` is true, then the prefix will only be
+accepted if it matches the specified base. `base` and `leadingZeroIsOctal`
+cannot be used together.
+
+**Context:** It's tricky to parse integers with JavaScript's built-in facilities
+for several reasons:
+
+- `parseInt()` and `Number()` by default allow the base to be specified in the
+ input string by a prefix (e.g., `0x` for hex).
+- `parseInt()` allows trailing nonnumeric characters.
+- `Number(str)` returns 0 when `str` is the empty string (`''`).
+- Both functions return incorrect values when the input string represents a
+ valid integer outside the range of integers that can be represented precisely.
+ Specifically, `parseInt('9007199254740993')` returns 9007199254740992.
+- Both functions always accept `-` and `+` signs before the digit.
+- Some older JavaScript engines always interpret a leading 0 as indicating
+ octal, which can be surprising when parsing input from users who expect a
+ leading zero to be insignificant.
+
+While each of these may be desirable in some contexts, there are also times when
+none of them are wanted. `parseInteger()` grants greater control over what
+input's permissible.
+
+### iso8601(date)
+
+Converts a Date object to an ISO8601 date string of the form
+"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sssZ". This format is not customizable.
+
+
+### parseDateTime(str)
+
+Parses a date expressed as a string, as either a number of milliseconds since
+the epoch or any string format that Date accepts, giving preference to the
+former where these two sets overlap (e.g., strings containing small numbers).
+
+
+### hrtimeDiff(timeA, timeB)
+
+Given two hrtime readings (as from Node's `process.hrtime()`), where timeA is
+later than timeB, compute the difference and return that as an hrtime. It is
+illegal to invoke this for a pair of times where timeB is newer than timeA.
+
+### hrtimeAdd(timeA, timeB)
+
+Add two hrtime intervals (as from Node's `process.hrtime()`), returning a new
+hrtime interval array. This function does not modify either input argument.
+
+
+### hrtimeAccum(timeA, timeB)
+
+Add two hrtime intervals (as from Node's `process.hrtime()`), storing the
+result in `timeA`. This function overwrites (and returns) the first argument
+passed in.
+
+
+### hrtimeNanosec(timeA), hrtimeMicrosec(timeA), hrtimeMillisec(timeA)
+
+This suite of functions converts a hrtime interval (as from Node's
+`process.hrtime()`) into a scalar number of nanoseconds, microseconds or
+milliseconds. Results are truncated, as with `Math.floor()`.
+
+
+### validateJsonObject(schema, object)
+
+Uses JSON validation (via JSV) to validate the given object against the given
+schema. On success, returns null. On failure, *returns* (does not throw) a
+useful Error object.
+
+
+### extraProperties(object, allowed)
+
+Check an object for unexpected properties. Accepts the object to check, and an
+array of allowed property name strings. If extra properties are detected, an
+array of extra property names is returned. If no properties other than those
+in the allowed list are present on the object, the returned array will be of
+zero length.
+
+### mergeObjects(provided, overrides, defaults)
+
+Merge properties from objects "provided", "overrides", and "defaults". The
+intended use case is for functions that accept named arguments in an "args"
+object, but want to provide some default values and override other values. In
+that case, "provided" is what the caller specified, "overrides" are what the
+function wants to override, and "defaults" contains default values.
+
+The function starts with the values in "defaults", overrides them with the
+values in "provided", and then overrides those with the values in "overrides".
+For convenience, any of these objects may be falsey, in which case they will be
+ignored. The input objects are never modified, but properties in the returned
+object are not deep-copied.
+
+For example:
+
+ mergeObjects(undefined, { 'objectMode': true }, { 'highWaterMark': 0 })
+
+returns:
+
+ { 'objectMode': true, 'highWaterMark': 0 }
+
+For another example:
+
+ mergeObjects(
+ { 'highWaterMark': 16, 'objectMode': 7 }, /* from caller */
+ { 'objectMode': true }, /* overrides */
+ { 'highWaterMark': 0 }); /* default */
+
+returns:
+
+ { 'objectMode': true, 'highWaterMark': 16 }
