Overview

I removed jsonc-eslint-parser, but ESLint still reports errors in package.json and applies autofixes. Do I really need to install jsonc-eslint-parser?

And isn't it better to use @eslint/json for flat config, if it is still needed in some cases?

👋 Good questions, thanks for posting!

Do I really need to install jsonc-eslint-parser?

No, that isn't necessary in flat config. I think this is a bug in the docs - the installation command for Flat Config shouldn't include jsonc-eslint-parser. Accepting PRs to make separate installation commands for flat & legacy config in the README.md.

And isn't it better to use @eslint/json for flat config, if it is still needed in some cases?

I'm in favor of doing some research there, but don't have the time myself. Also mentioned here: #42 (comment). If you want to file a new issue & post some initial findings/suggestions, that'd be great, yes please!
