What are some alternatives to JSON.parse?

What are some alternatives to JSON.parse for parsing JSON data?

Some alternatives to JSON.parse include libraries like 'json5' for more flexible parsing and 'circular-json' for handling circular references.

Can you explain how json5 works?

Sure! json5 allows for more lenient syntax, such as allowing comments and trailing commas, making it easier to write and read.

What about performance? Is json5 slower than JSON.parse?

Yes, json5 can be slower than JSON.parse due to its additional features, but the difference is often negligible for small datasets.

Are there any other libraries I should consider?

You might also look into 'ajv' for JSON schema validation or 'superjson' for serializing complex data types.
