What
Per npm/json-parse-even-better-errors#3 (comment), npm will implicitly update line endings, spacing, etc of
package-lock.json
so that it matchespackage.json
Why
I'd like to add this documentation because it does not seem to be documented anywhere, and as it is an implicit and non-configurable behavior, it took me a long time to figure out the cause.
