json validation

[justinabrahms]

It would be nice to have a simple linter that would validate .json files are actually valid json.

What do you think about also detecting package.json and running against pjv for better suggestions on npm files? This would of course be in addition to a standard json validation. This could always be built as a separate plugin entirely.

Also I just about have the standard validation done, just having trouble with python regex... as mention in previous tweet...

Regarding the pjv stuff that is doable, but I need a fuzzy json linter for chef json. chef is dumb and allows for comments in json.

@scottjab Nice, I'll keep that in mind. You think we should provide and option? or detect chef files?

[justinabrahms]

Make a working "this is real json" validator. We can subclass it or make separate ones to validate less-than-real json.

+1 on that.
