# read-pkg [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/read-pkg)
> Read a package.json file
## Why
- [Gracefully handles filesystem issues](https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs)
- [Strips UTF-8 BOM](https://github.com/sindresorhus/strip-bom)
- [Throws more helpful JSON errors](https://github.com/sindresorhus/parse-json)
- [Normalizes the data](https://github.com/npm/normalize-package-data#what-normalization-currently-entails)
## Install
```
$ npm install --save read-pkg
```
## Usage
```js
var readPkg = require('read-pkg');
readPkg().then(function (pkg) {
console.log(pkg);
//=> {name: 'read-pkg', ...}
});
readPkg(__dirname).then(function (pkg) {
console.log(pkg);
//=> {name: 'read-pkg', ...}
});
readPkg(path.join('unicorn', 'package.json')).then(function (pkg) {
console.log(pkg);
//=> {name: 'read-pkg', ...}
});
```
