Strip comments from JSON. Lets you use comments in your JSON files!
This is now possible:
{
"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/Grunt/Broccoli plugin.
