Tiny JSONC

An absurdly small JSONC parser.

This library works simply by using regexes to strip out comments first and trailing commas second, in order to account for a trailing comma followed by a comment, and then just passing the output to JSON.parse.

If you need additional APIs to manipulate JSONC, better error messages, or a full-blown parser, I'd recommend using jsonc-simple-parser instead.

Install

1npm install tiny-jsonc

Usage

1import JSONC from 'tiny-jsonc';
2
3const source = `
4  { // This is an example
5    "foo": 123,
6    /* TRAILING COMMAS */
7    "bar": [1, 2, 3,],
8  }
9`;
10
11const result = {
12  foo: 123,
13  bar: [1, 2, 3]
14};
15
16JSONC.parse ( source ); // => returns an object that's deeply equal to `result`
