# 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'}
```
## API

#### jsonString
Type: `string`
Accepts a string with JSON and returns a string without comments.
#### options
Type: `object`
##### whitespace
Type: `boolean`\
