The format of canonical values is fixed and rigid. These are the values that are persisted in RethinkDB. In computer science, canonicalization (sometimes standardization or normalization) is a process for converting data that has more than one possible representation into a “standard”, “normal”, or canonical form. This can be done to compare different representations for equivalence, to count the number of distinct data structures, to improve the efficiency of various algorithms by eliminating repeated calculations, or to make it possible to impose a meaningful sorting order. /xcraft/converters/development/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 /xcraft/converters/development/index.html To run test: npm test xcraft-core-converters To debug test: Run Visual Studio Code Open the file xcraft-core-converters/lib/\*.js or xcraft-core-converters/test/\*.js to debug Set a breakpoint Run “Test current file (mocha)”
