node-json-utils

npm install json-utils

jsonUtils.readJSONSync(fileName[, options])

Use this method if you are fedup of the cryptic error that JSON.parse() gives you.

Behaves the same as fs.readFileSync but runs a json linter and then parses the JSON.

A non json content results in an error being thrown. The error message is well detailed and explicit about what part of your file cannot be parsed.
