I've got a simple package.json file and I want to add a comment. Is there a way to do this, or are there any hacks to make this work?
{
"name": "My Project",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"express": "3.x",
"mongoose": "3.x"
},
"devDependencies" : {
"should": "*"
/* "mocha": "*" not needed as should be globally installed */
}
}
The example comment above doesn't work as npm breaks. I've also tried // style comments.
