Edit File: readJson-sync.md
# readJsonSync(file, [options]) Reads a JSON file and then parses it into an object. `options` are the same that you'd pass to [`jsonFile.readFileSync`](https://github.com/jprichardson/node-jsonfile#readfilesyncfilename-options). **Alias:** `readJSONSync()` - `file` `<String>` - `options` `<Object>` ## Example: ```js const fs = require('fs-extra') const packageObj = fs.readJsonSync('./package.json') console.log(packageObj.version) // => 2.0.0 ``` --- `readJsonSync()` can take a `throws` option set to `false` and it won't throw if the JSON is invalid. Example: ```js const fs = require('fs-extra') const file = '/tmp/some-invalid.json' const data = '{not valid JSON' fs.writeFileSync(file, data) const obj = fs.readJsonSync(file, { throws: false }) console.log(obj) // => null ```
