+
+> 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

+```

+## Usage
+
+```js
+const json = `{
+ // Rainbows
+ "unicorn": /* ❤ */ "cake"
+}`;

+//=> {unicorn: 'cake'}
+```
