remove-json-comments 

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

This is now possible:

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

It will replace single-line comments // and multi-line comments /**/ with whitespace. This allows JSON error positions to remain as close as possible to the original source.

Also available as a gulp/grunt/broccoli plugin.

Install

`
$ npm install remove-json-comments
`

Usage

`js
const json = '{/rainbows/"unicorn":"cake"}';

JSON.parse(stripJsonComments(json));
//=> {unicorn: 'cake'}

`
JSON Remove trailiing comma from last object
`js
var json =
{
[{
"ITEM2": {
"names": ["nameB", "nameC"]
}
}, // need to remove this comma!
]
}


JSON.parse(stripJsonComments(json));
`
