The parsejson package offers a straightforward method for parsing JSON strings into JSON objects. Version 0.0.1, released in February 2014, provides this core functionality with a single dependency, better-assert (version ~1.0.0), used for internal assertions and maintaining code quality. For developers relying on JSON parsing within their Node.js or browser environments, this package presents a lightweight solution. The release includes development dependencies, specifically Mocha (version 1.17.1), highlighting its commitment to testing and stability. Further development regarding the previous stable version is undefined, so there are no differences to discuss. The use of the MIT license promotes open-source collaboration and flexible integration into various projects. Developers can readily access the package via npm and incorporate it into their workflows to simplify JSON data handling.
All the vulnerabilities related to the version 0.0.1 of the package
Regular Expression Denial of Service in parsejson
Affected versions of parsejson are vulnerable to a regular expression denial of service when parsing untrusted user input.
The parsejson package has not been functionally updated since it was initially released.
Additionally, it provides functionality which is natively included in Node.js, and therefore the native JSON.parse() should be used, for both performance and security reasons.
