inner-json v1.1.0

inner-json

Removes text before and after JSON object in a given file

Use

Often, spec output from JSON test reporters contains extra lines before or after the JSON. For example CypressCI outputs the following when using json reporter

cypress ci --spec my-spec.js --reporter json
Tests are starting ...
{
  "summary": "...."
}

This module allows you to quickly remove leading or trailing non-JSON lines.

cypress ci --spec my-spec.js --reporter json > out.json
inner-json out.json > cleaned.json

Now the cleaned.json only contains the inner valid JSON object.

API

const innerJson = require('..')
const text = read('/some/file', 'utf8')
const jsonText = innerJson(text)

jsonText should contain just the inner JSON portion of the input text.
