JSONLint is a JSON Linter that allows for comments in your JSON Files.
For use with nodejs, use npm
$ npm install -g json-lintFor use in browser environments, include the script tag
<script type='text/javascript' src='jsonlint.js'></script>// Require it for nodejs environment
var JSONLint = require( 'json-lint' );
// Run the JSON string through the linter
var lint = JSONLint( json, options );
// Do something with the error
if ( lint.error ) {
lint.error // Error Message
lint.line; // Line number in json file where error was found
lint.character; // Character of line in json file where error was found
}JSONLint takes two arguments, and throws an error if found.

There is currently only 1 option that is handled: comments, which defaults to true if not set.
