Better JSON

Simply better json with comments and auto normalization. You can either use it as a new object, or override the default JSON object.

• comments are removed from strings
• quotes are added where needed automatically
• single quotes are corrected to double, when needed
• types are auto corrected ('1' becomes 1)
• trailing commas are removed
• crash resistance (runs in a try catch block, and returns null on error)

Installation

npm install @aspiesoft/better-json

Setup

const json = require('@aspiesoft/better-json');

// or to override the JSON object
require('@aspiesoft/better-json')();

Usage

json.parse(`
{
    option1: string,
    //option2: true, /* commented out */
    option3: true,
}
`);
// expected output: {option1: 'string', option3: true}

json.stringify({test: 2, unwantedFunction: function(){}});
// expected output: {"test": 2}
