#### options
Type: object
##### cwd
Type: URL | string
Default:
Current working directory.
##### normalize
Type: boolean
Default:
Normalize the package data.
Parses an object or string into JSON.
Note: packageFile is cloned using structuredClone to prevent modification to the input object. This function is available from Node.js 18 on. In environments without structuredClone (such as Node.js 16), a shallow spread is used instead, which can cause deep properties of the object to be modified. Consider cloning the object before using parsePackage if that's the case.
#### packageFile
Type: object | string
An object or a stringified object to be parsed as a package.json.
#### options
Type: object
