clean-json-parser

Why use clean-json-parser? Standard JSON configurations do not support comments or trailing commas. Parsing files written by humans with standard JSON.parse causes syntax crashes.

A robust JSON parser that strips single-line and multi-line comments, cleans trailing commas, and returns standard objects.

⚡ Features

• Strips single-line (//) and multi-line (/ /) comments
• Removes trailing commas in arrays and objects
• Preserves original line mappings, zero dependencies

📦 Installation

npm i clean-json-parser

🚀 Usage

import { parseJson } from 'clean-json-parser';

const config = `
  {
    // Settings
    "port": 8080, /* Dev port */
    "hosts": ["localhost", "127.0.0.1", ], // Trailing comma ignored
  }
`;

const parsed = parseJson(config);
console.log(parsed.port); // 8080
