Options

This plugin uses the json5 under the hood. So you can provide the same options of the json5 module.

When you register the plugin you can pass the JSON.parse options:

• reviver

When you call the reply.sendJSON5() you can pass the JSON.stringify:

• replacer
• space
• quote

Security

By default, the json5 module behaves like the JSON.parse and JSON.stringify methods. So it parse and add to the prototype the __proto__ property.

This module implements a security check to avoid the __proto__ property to be added to the prototype. In this case the plugin will throw an http 400 error.
