How to parse JSON using Node.js? [closed]

Answer 1

If you want to add some comments in your JSON and allow trailing commas you might want use below implemention:

var fs = require('fs');

var data = parseJsData('./message.json');

console.log('[INFO] data:', data);

function parseJsData(filename) {
    var json = fs.readFileSync(filename, 'utf8')
        .replace(/\s*\/\/.+/g, '')
        .replace(/,(\s*\})/g, '}')
    ;
    return JSON.parse(json);
}

Note that it might not work well if you have something like "abc": "foo // bar" in your JSON. So YMMV.
