## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does this relate to `eslint-plugin-json` and `eslint-plugin-jsonc`?

This plugin implements JSON parsing for ESLint using the language plugins API, which is the official way of supporting non-JavaScript languages in ESLint. This differs from the other plugins:

- `eslint-plugin-json` uses a processor to parse the JSON, meaning it doesn't create an AST and you can't write custom rules for it.
- `eslint-plugin-jsonc` uses a parser that still goes through the JavaScript linting functionality and requires several rules to disallow valid JavaScript syntax that is invalid in JSON.

As such, this plugin is more robust and faster than the others. You can write your own custom rules when using the languages in this plugin, too.

### What about missing rules that are available in `eslint-plugin-json` and `eslint-plugin-jsonc`?

Most of the rules in `eslint-plugin-json` are actually syntax errors that are caught automatically by the parser used in this plugin.

Similarly, many of the rules in `eslint-plugin-jsonc` specifically disallow valid JavaScript syntax that is invalid in the context of JSON. These are also automatically caught by the parser in this plugin.

Any other rules that catch potential problems in JSON are welcome to be implemented. You can [open an issue](https://github.com/eslint/json/issues/new/choose) to propose a new rule.
