json5-loader

A webpack loader for parsing JSON5 files into JavaScript objects. Supports modern JSON5 syntax including comments, trailing commas, and unquoted keys. Current stable version is 4.0.1 (released October 2020), requiring Node.js >= 10.13 and webpack ^4 || ^5. Replaced the built-in json-loader for JSON5 support. Key differentiator: integrates seamlessly with webpack's module system, offering esModule option for ES module output and enabling tree shaking. Maintained by the webpack-contrib organization with regular updates to schema-utils.
