jsonfile simplifies reading and writing JSON files in Node.js. It provides a promise-based API with methods like readFile and writeFile that handle the encoding and file I/O aspects seamlessly. It ensures the data is properly parsed and formatted, reducing boilerplate code for common JSON file manipulation tasks. Furthermore, it preserves the file's original formatting (e.g., indentation) when writing, leading to cleaner and more maintainable configuration files. This package offers an efficient and reliable approach to managing JSON data in your projects.
