**JSON for Humans.**
JSON is great. Until you miss that trailing comma... or want to use comments. What about multiline strings?
JSONH provides a much more elegant way to write JSON that's designed for humans rather than machines.
Since JSONH is compatible with JSON, any JSONH syntax can be represented with equivalent JSON.
## JsonhTs
JsonhTs is a parser implementation of [JSONH V1 & V2](https://github.com/jsonh-org/Jsonh) for TypeScript/JavaScript.
## Example
```jsonh
{
// use #, // or /**/ comments
// quotes are optional
keys: without quotes,
// commas are optional
isn\'t: {
that: cool? # yes
}
// use multiline strings
haiku: '''
Let me die in spring
beneath the cherry blossoms
while the moon is full.
'''
// compatible with JSON5
key: 0xDEADCAFE
// or use JSON
"old school": 1337
}
```
## Usage
Everything you need is contained within `JsonhReader`:
```
npm install jsonh-ts
```
```ts
// TypeScript
import { JsonhReader } from "jsonh-ts";
let jsonh: string = `
{
this is: awesome
}
`;
let element: string = JsonhReader.parseElementFromString(jsonh).value;
```
```js
// JavaScript
const { JsonhReader } = require("jsonh-ts");
let jsonh = `
{
this is: awesome
}
`;
let element = JsonhReader.parseElementFromString(jsonh).value;
```
## Dependencies
- ES2022
- [vitest-dev/vitest](https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest) (v3.2.4)
## Limitations
In comparison to [JsonhCs](https://github.com/jsonh-org/JsonhCs), this TypeScript implementation has some limitations.
### Fixed-size numbers
Numbers are parsed as `number`.
In general, these are 64-bit and have a range of about 9 quintillion and a precision of about 15 decimal places.
