Require JSON6 files in node - a better JSON for ES6 era
npm install require-json6Require JSON6 files in node - a better JSON for ES6 era
JSON6 is more human friendly, can contain comments, trailing commas, unquoted keys amd more!
``sh`
npm i require-json6
Include the lib:
`js`
const requireJSON6 = require('require-json6');
1) Require a JSON6 file
`js`
let config = require("./config.json6");
2) Load a .json file in JSON6 format
`js`
let config = requireJSON6("./config.json");
3) Load a .js file as JSON6 format.
This is useful if you don't like the .json6 file extension.js
and prefer to keep JSON6 in files.
`js`
let config = requireJSON6("./config.js");
3) Parse a JSON6 string
`js`
let config = requireJSON6.parse('{ name: /a very important option/ "value" }');
4) Use JSON6 for all require(.json) calls
`js`
require('require-json6').replace();
let config = require("./config"); // can be config.json, config.json6 or config.js
The following is a contrived example, but it illustrates most of the features:
`js``
{
foo: 'bar',
while: true,
this: 'is a \
multi-line string',
// this is an inline comment
here: 'is another', // inline comment
/* this is a block comment
that continues on another line */
hex: 0xDEADbeef,
half: .5,
delta: +10,
to: Infinity, // and beyond!
finally: 'a trailing comma',
oh: [
"we shouldn't forget",
'arrays can have',
'trailing commas too',
],
}
