Cleans up package.json files for our homepage - Removes comments, superflous commas at the end of objects and arrays and replaces single with double quotes and uses the client's JSON.stringify (or the stringifier at https://gist.github.com/1087317) to reformat the output.
Cannot fix erroneous quotations or unquoted object keys. If single quote strings contain unescaped double-quotes, this may result in errors (not a common use-case for the homepage).
| function j( | |
| a, // JSON data or full regex match | |
| b, // undefined or singlequote string content | |
| c // undefined or regex position | |
| ){ | |
| // is a position detected? | |
| return c ? | |
| // do we have a singlequote string match? return doublequoted, otherwise empty string | |
| (b ? '"'+b+'"' : '') : | |
| // not within regexp: Use JSON.stringify/.parse to reformat | |
| JSON.stringify(JSON.parse( | |

you should rethink the use of eval... can't use it in production with that.
