What's the best way (most efficient) to turn all the keys of an object to lower case?

Question

I\'ve come up with

function keysToLowerCase (obj) {
  var keys = Object.keys(obj);
  var n = keys.length;
  while (n--) {
    var key = keys[n]; // \"cache\"         


        

Answer 1

Consider lowering case just once, storing it in a lowKey var:

function keysToLowerCase (obj) {
  var keys = Object.keys(obj);
  var n = keys.length;
  var lowKey;
  while (n--) {
    var key = keys[n];
    if (key === (lowKey = key.toLowerCase()))
    continue

    obj[lowKey] = obj[key]
    delete obj[key]

  }
  return (obj);
}

Answer 2

var aa = {ID:1,NAME:'Guvaliour'};
var bb= {};
var cc = Object.keys(aa);
cc.forEach(element=>{
 bb[element.toLowerCase()]=aa[element];
});
cosole.log(bb)

Answer 3

I used ES6 and TypeScript. toLowerCaseObject function takes an Array as parameter and looking through Object tree recursively and make every node lowercase:

function toLowerCaseObject(items: any[]) {
        return items.map(x => {
            let lowerCasedObject = {}
                for (let i in x) {
                    if (x.hasOwnProperty(i)) {
                        lowerCased[i.toLowerCase()] = x[i] instanceof Array ? toLowerCaseObject(x[i]) : x[i];
                    }
            }
            return lowerCasedObject;
        });
    }

Answer 4

Here's my recursive version based on one of the above examples.

//updated function
var lowerObjKeys = function(obj) {
  Object.keys(obj).forEach(function(key) {
    var k = key.toLowerCase();
    if (k != key) {
      var v = obj[key]
      obj[k] = v;
      delete obj[key];

      if (typeof v == 'object') {
        lowerObjKeys(v);
      }
    }
  });

  return obj;
}

//plumbing
console = {
  _createConsole: function() {
    var pre = document.createElement('pre');
    pre.setAttribute('id', 'console');
    document.body.insertBefore(pre, document.body.firstChild);
    return pre;
  },
  info: function(message) {
    var pre = document.getElementById("console") || console._createConsole();
    pre.textContent += ['>', message, '\n'].join(' ');
  }
};

//test case
console.info(JSON.stringify(lowerObjKeys({
  "StackOverflow": "blah",
  "Test": {
    "LULZ": "MEH"
  }
}), true));

Beware, it doesn't track circular references, so you can end up with an infinite loop resulting in stack overflow.

Answer 5

One-liner (only for top level keys):

Object.assign(...Object.keys(obj).map(key => ({[key.toLowerCase()]: obj[key]})))

Converts:

{ a: 1, B: 2, C: { Z: 4 } }

To:

{ a: 1, b: 2, c: { Z: 4 } }

ES6 version:

Object.keys(source)
  .reduce((destination, key) => {
    destination[key.toLowerCase()] = source[key];
    return destination;
  }, {});
