json-clean

A command line interface tool for removing characters, such as the byte order mark (BOM) from a json file.

The input file is read into memory, manipulated then the contents of the file is replaced with the cleansed JSON version, assuming there were no errors.

This is a destructive process. I recommend using with files that are under source control as results could be unpredictable.

See help for usage instructions.

Install

   npm install --global json-clean
