Cannot browserify jsonlint: module "file" missing

[josdejong]

Thanks for offering jsonlint via npm, works great.

I stumbled upon one issue though: when I try to browserify jsonlint, an error is thrown:

Error: Cannot find module 'file' from '/home/ubuntu/workspace/node_modules/jsonlint/lib'

The module file is required here in the source code:
https://github.com/zaach/jsonlint/blob/master/lib/jsonlint.js#L424

It looks like the "file" module is missing from the dependencies in package.json. But maybe this code is redundant anyway: I guess if you're not running node.js (i.e. typeof process === 'undefined'), the file module won't work either?

+1, we're having the same issue with webpack.

For a workaround: I've cloned the project and fixed this issue here:

Cool! Did you issue a PR for that?

[josdejong]

no, see #56.

Can this error be forced to be ignored in browserify? The main method is usually not to be imported. Exports parser and Parser are usually used in web applications.
