strip-json-comments removes comments from JSON strings. It's a lightweight, dependency-free utility ideal for pre-parsing JSON data to ensure compatibility with older parsers or when dealing with configuration files that allow comments. The module handles both single-line (//) and multi-line (/* */) comments, cleaning your JSON input before processing, preventing parsing errors and offering a more robust solution for handling potentially malformed JSON data. Easy to integrate and use in any Node.js or browser environment.
