jsonc-require

jsonc for require, similar to the one used by VS Code.

• Transparently loads json files with comments.
• Strips trailing commas*
• Strips UTF-8 BOM.

* As in VS Code, double commas raises a SyntaxError.

Note:

jsonc-require v1.0.1 and above supports the .jsonc extension, in addition to .json (thanks to @tacc-wbomar)

Install

npm install jsonc-require -S
# or
yarn add jsonc-require

Usage

// `require` once the jsonc-require module
require('jsonc-require')

// ...and use it everywhere.
const data = require('./mydata.json')
// const data = require('./mydata.jsonc')

Tip: Use import instead require if you are using ES6 modules.

TODO

• [x] Test
• [ ] Enhance the Readme
