strip-json-comments

Strip comments from JSON. Lets you use comments in your JSON files!

This is now possible:

js { // Rainbows "unicorn": /* ❤ */ "cake" }

It will replace single-line comments // and multi-line comments /**/ with whitespace. This allows JSON error positions to remain as close as possible to the original source.

Also available as a Gulp/Grunt/Broccoli plugin.

Install

$ npm install strip-json-comments

Usage

``js const json ={ // Rainbows “unicorn”: / ❤ / “cake” }`;

JSON.parse(stripJsonComments(json)); //=> {unicorn: ‘cake’} ```
