# 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.
## Install
```
$ npm install --save strip-json-comments
```
## Usage
```js
const json = '{/*rainbows*/"unicorn":"cake"}';
JSON.parse(stripJsonComments(json));
//=> {unicorn: 'cake'}
```
## API

Type: `string`
