Advanced tools
jsonlint is a JSON parser and validator with a CLI and API. It provides similar functionality for parsing and validating JSON, but it does not generate a syntax tree like tree-sitter-json. Instead, it focuses on ensuring the JSON is well-formed and provides error messages for invalid JSON.
json5 is a JSON parser that allows for more relaxed JSON syntax, such as comments and trailing commas. While it also parses JSON, it is designed to handle a superset of JSON syntax, making it more flexible but less strict compared to tree-sitter-json.
fast-json-parse is a fast JSON parser that focuses on performance. It provides basic parsing functionality without generating a syntax tree. It is useful for applications where speed is critical and the additional features of tree-sitter-json are not required.
