json-san
JSON-san, you much parse error!
json-san is a json module that works pretty much like the built-in JSON object EXCEPT:
- On json.parse errors, json-san uses jshint to provide useful error messages on how to fix it!
- json-san knows how to rock callbacks!
Install!
npm install json-san
Examples!
Here's an example of the more useful error messages:
> require("./lib/json-san").parse("[ 'foo' ]")
Error:
* line 1, col 4, Strings must use doublequote.
1 error

See? Now you know where the mistake is!
Now here's an example of using a callback with stringify (which of course doesn't have jshint integration):
> require("./lib/json-san").stringify(["foo"], function (err, json) {
... if (err) {
... throw err;
... } else {
... console.log(json);
... }
... });
["foo"]
