# strip-json-comments [](https://travis-ci.org/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.
