Bug with empty array

[bilogic]

I put a VSCode workspace through this project and it returned the exclude part in a format that json_decode cannot parse.

            "configurations": [
                {
                    "name": "XDebug:9000",
                    "type": "php",
                    "request": "launch",
                    "port": 9000,
                    "exclude": [
                        //                         "!vendor\/bilogic\/**",
                        //                         "**\/vendor\/**"
                    ],

// returned as this, which cannot be parsed
"exclude": [
],

// putting it through the parser again returns this, which is now parsable
"exclude": [],

maybe due to comment // ? that's not supported

Hi! Maybe let me try to rephrase the problem. I expected this library to strip the original JSON in 1 pass, but it needed 2 passes instead. That's the bug I'm trying to report.

Original

"configurations": [
    {
        "name": "XDebug:9000",
        "type": "php",
        "request": "launch",
        "port": 9000,
        "exclude": [
            //                         "!vendor\/bilogic\/**",
            //                         "**\/vendor\/**"
        ],
    }
]

Output after 1st strip(...), json_decode returns null when trying to parse this output

"configurations": [
    {
        "name": "XDebug:9000",
        "type": "php",
        "request": "launch",
        "port": 9000,
        "exclude": [
        ],
    }
]

Output after 2nd strip(...), json_decode is now able to parse this output

"configurations": [
    {
        "name": "XDebug:9000",
        "type": "php",
        "request": "launch",
        "port": 9000,
        "exclude": [],
    }
]
