What is read-package-json?

The read-package-json npm package is used to read and parse package.json files in a way that npm also does. It normalizes some of the data and can handle different file encodings, comments, and trailing commas.

What are read-package-json's main functionalities?

Read and parse package.json

This feature reads and parses the package.json file located at the specified path. It handles errors and outputs the package data.

const readPackageJson = require('read-package-json');
readPackageJson('/path/to/package.json', console.error, false, function (er, data) {
  if (er) {
    console.error("There was an error reading the file")
    return
  }
  console.log('The package data is', data)
})

Normalize package data

This feature reads the package.json file and normalizes its data to ensure consistency in the structure and values of the package's metadata.

const readPackageJson = require('read-package-json');
readPackageJson('/path/to/package.json', console.error, true, function (er, data) {
  if (er) {
    console.error("There was an error reading the file")
    return
  }
  console.log('The normalized package data is', data)
})
