Implementation

To use Hjson in your application you have two options

• Convert Hjson to JSON using any of the available tools or libraries. This can even be done by an external process.
• Use one of the Hjson libraries directly. They are easy to use and try to be language idiomatic.

Your users do not need to convert their existing JSON configs and can upgrade (or not) as they like.
