cson (CoffeeScript‑Object‑Notation) is a human-friendly data serialization format similar to JSON but using CoffeeScript syntax, with a library (and CLI) to parse and serialize between CSON, JSON, and JavaScript objects. Executing the method with a callback still executes the method synchronously. Requires or parses a file path of the desired format into an Object If the format option is not specified, we use the filename to detect what it should be; otherwise, we default to parsing CSON.

Features

  • Reads and writes CSON files with CoffeeScript‑like syntax
  • Wrapper around the lower-level CSON Parser with higher-level API
  • Supports nested objects, comments, and trailing commas unlike JSON
  • Enables conversion to/from standard JSON and JavaScript objects
  • Used in config files where readability for humans is prioritized
  • Maintains secure development practices including 2FA and secret handling
