# strip-json-comments [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/sindresorhus/strip-json-comments.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/github/sindresorhus/strip-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](https://github.com/sindresorhus/gulp-strip-json-comments)/[Grunt](https://github.com/sindresorhus/grunt-strip-json-comments)/[Broccoli](https://github.com/sindresorhus/broccoli-strip-json-comments) plugin.
## Install
``` $ npm install strip-json-comments ```
## Usage
```js const json = `{ // Rainbows "unicorn": /* ❤ */ "cake" }`;
JSON.parse(stripJsonComments(json)); //=> {unicorn: 'cake'} ```
