strip-json-comments

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

This is now possible:

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

It will remove single-line comments // and mult-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

$ npm install --save strip-json-comments

$ bower install --save strip-json-comments

$ component install sindresorhus/strip-json-comments

Usage

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