=====

Browserify transform to strip everything from `package.json` except for

the `"version"` field.

Installation

----

    npm install --save package-json-versionify

Description

----

Say you want to ship a library, and do something like:

```js

MyLibrary.version = require('./package.json').version;

```

Unfortunately, if you do this, then your entire `package.json` will be included

in the output Browserify bundle, which will increase your bundle size. Bummer!

However, if you use this transform, then it will remove everything from `package.json` except for the `"version"` field. So when you `require('./package.json')`, you get something much more compact, e.g.:

```js

{"version":"1.0.0"}

```
