strip-json-comments Build Status

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

This is now possible:

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

It will remove single-line comments // and multi-line comments /**/.

Also available as a gulp/grunt/broccoli plugin and a require hook.

There's already json-comments, but it's only for Node.js and uses a naive regex to strip comments which fails on simple cases like {"a":"//"}. This module however parses out the comments.

Install

sh $ npm install --save strip-json-comments

sh $ bower install --save strip-json-comments

sh $ component install sindresorhus/strip-json-comments

Usage

js var json = '{/*rainbows*/"unicorn":"cake"}'; JSON.parse(stripJsonComments(json)); //=> {unicorn: 'cake'}

API

stripJsonComments(input)

input

Type: string

Accepts a string with JSON and returns a string without comments.

CLI

sh $ npm install --global strip-json-comments

```sh $ strip-json-comments --help

strip-json-comments input-file > output-file

or

strip-json-comments < input-file > output-file ```
