## Core APIs

- stableStringify(value, options): recursively sorted deterministic JSON.
- safeStringify(value, replacer, space, options): bounded diagnostics with
  cycle and BigInt defaults.
- canonicalize(value, options): strict RFC 8785 canonical JSON string.
- canonicalizeBytes(value, options): canonical UTF-8 Uint8Array.
- configure(defaults): reusable stable serializer.

The default export is stableStringify. ESM, callable CommonJS, a browser
global, and TypeScript 3.9 through 7.0 are supported. Node.js 14.17+ is the
runtime floor. The package has zero runtime dependencies.
