jsoncomma.js

Similar to JSON but with trailing commas. Because you like diffs to be minimal and are fed up with JSON.parse SyntaxError exceptions.

I wrote it in anger.

Usage

> var jsoncomma = require("jsoncomma");
> var str = jsoncomma.stringify({kramer:"yoyoma", hello:[4,2]}, null, 4);
> console.log(str);
{
    "kramer": "yoyoma",
    "hello": [
        4,
        2,
    ],
}

> jsoncomma.parseUnsafe(str));
{ kramer: 'yoyoma', hello: [ 4, 2 ] }

parseUnsafe is called that for a reason so only feed it trusted data. parseUnsafe is just a wrapper around new Function.

jsoncomma.parseUnsafe(str) does not support a reviver (the second JSON.parse argument).

jsoncomma.stringify(v, ignored_replacer, space) requires a null replacer and a numeric space. It always pretty-prints.

Contribute

parseSafe maybe? That would be sweet. It should work on large and complex input. If it's also fast then that's a plus.
