Atomically writes JSON to a file with automatic directory creation and formatting options.
What is write-json-file?
write-json-file is a Node.js library that safely writes JSON data to files atomically, ensuring data integrity during write operations. It automatically creates necessary directories and provides options for formatting, indentation, and key sorting. It solves the problem of potential file corruption and missing directories when persisting JSON data.
Node.js developers who need to reliably write JSON configuration files, data dumps, or application state to disk, particularly in CLI tools, build scripts, or server applications.
Developers choose it for its atomic write guarantee, which prevents corrupted JSON files, and its convenience features like automatic directory creation. It's a focused, reliable alternative to manual JSON.stringify and fs.writeFile combinations.
