A [Node ](https://nodejs.org/ ) module to read and parse a [JSON ](http://www.json.org/ ) file synchronously
```javascript
const readJsonSync = require('read-json-sync');
readJsonSync('package.json'); //=> {name: 'read-json-sync', version: '1.0.0', ...}
```
Node's built-in [`require` ](https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_require ) can do almost the same thing, but this module doesn't [cache ](https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_caching ) results.
## Installation
[Use npm ](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install ).
```
npm install read-json-sync
```
## API
```javascript
const readJsonSync = require('read-json-sync');
```
### readJsonSync(*filePath* [, *options*])
*filePath*: `String` (path to a JSON file)
*options*: `Object` ([`fs.readFile`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_readfile_filename_options_callback) options)
Return: `Object` (parsed [JSON ](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159 ) data)
