The JSON5 Data Interchange Format (JSON5) is a superset of JSON that aims to alleviate some of the limitations of JSON by expanding its syntax to include some productions from ECMAScript 5.1.
This JavaScript library is the official reference implementation for JSON5 parsing and serialization libraries.
The following ECMAScript 5.1 features, which are not supported in JSON, have been extended to JSON5.
{
// comments
unquoted: 'and you can quote me on that',
singleQuotes: 'I can use "double quotes" here',
lineBreaks: "Look, Mom! \
No \\n's!",
hexadecimal: 0xdecaf,
leadingDecimalPoint: .8675309, andTrailing: 8675309.,
positiveSign: +1,
trailingComma: 'in objects', andIn: ['arrays',],
"backwardsCompatible": "with JSON",
}
For a detailed explanation of the JSON5 format, please read the official specification.
npm install json5
const JSON5 = require('json5')
<script src="https://unpkg.com/json5@^2.0.0/dist/index.min.js"></script>
This will create a global JSON5
variable.
The JSON5 API is compatible with the JSON API.
Parses a JSON5 string, constructing the JavaScript value or object described by the string. An optional reviver function can be provided to perform a transformation on the resulting object before it is returned.
JSON5.parse(text[, reviver])
text
: The string to parse as JSON5.reviver
: If a function, this prescribes how the value originally produced by
parsing is transformed, before being returned.The object corresponding to the given JSON5 text.
Converts a JavaScript value to a JSON5 string, optionally replacing values if a replacer function is specified, or optionally including only the specified properties if a replacer array is specified.
JSON5.stringify(value[, replacer[, space]])
JSON5.stringify(value[, options])
value
: The value to convert to a JSON5 string.replacer
: A function that alters the behavior of the stringification
process, or an array of String and Number objects that serve as a whitelist
for selecting/filtering the properties of the value object to be included in
the JSON5 string. If this value is null or not provided, all properties of the
object are included in the resulting JSON5 string.space
: A String or Number object that's used to insert white space into the
output JSON5 string for readability purposes. If this is a Number, it
indicates the number of space characters to use as white space; this number is
capped at 10 (if it is greater, the value is just 10). Values less than 1
indicate that no space should be used. If this is a String, the string (or the
first 10 characters of the string, if it's longer than that) is used as white
space. If this parameter is not provided (or is null), no white space is used.
If white space is used, trailing commas will be used in objects and arrays.options
: An object with the following properties:
replacer
: Same as the replacer
parameter.space
: Same as the space
parameter.quote
: A String representing the quote character to use when serializing
strings.A JSON5 string representing the value.
require()
JSON5 filesWhen using Node.js, you can require()
JSON5 files by adding the following
statement.
require('json5/lib/register')
Then you can load a JSON5 file with a Node.js require()
statement. For
example:
const config = require('./config.json5')
Since JSON is more widely used than JSON5, this package includes a CLI for converting JSON5 to JSON and for validating the syntax of JSON5 documents.
npm install --global json5
json5 [options] <file>
If <file>
is not provided, then STDIN is used.
-s
, --space
: The number of spaces to indent or t
for tabs-o
, --out-file [file]
: Output to the specified file, otherwise STDOUT-v
, --validate
: Validate JSON5 but do not output JSON-V
, --version
: Output the version number-h
, --help
: Output usage informationgit clone https://github.com/json5/json5
cd json5
npm install

Assem Kishore founded this project.
Michael Bolin independently arrived at and published some of these same ideas with awesome explanations and detail. Recommended reading: Suggested Improvements to JSON
Douglas Crockford of course designed and built JSON, but his state machine diagrams on the JSON website, as cheesy as it may sound, gave us motivation and confidence that building a new parser to implement these ideas was within reach! The original implementation of JSON5 was also modeled directly off of Doug’s open-source json_parse.js parser. We’re grateful for that clean and well-documented code.
Max Nanasy has been an early and prolific supporter, contributing multiple patches and ideas.
Andrew Eisenberg contributed the original
stringify
method.
Jordan Tucker has aligned JSON5 more closely with ES5, wrote the official JSON5 specification, completely rewrote the codebase from the ground up, and is actively maintaining this project.
