Sure, I work on a [project](https://github.com/onsip/SIP.js) that [requires
its
package.json](https://github.com/onsip/SIP.js/blob/817c7038c0be0d66a68d4c1f5d5e99678017186b/src/SIP.js#L10-L19).
In order to make the project usable as a Cordova plugin, I had to copy the
relevant portions of package.json into a separate file,
[cordova_package.json.js](https://github.com/onsip/SIP.js/commit/0862df7c825b27f90a5665f584334b232eddf644#diff-0),
then [specify *that* file as the src of the "package.json"
module](https://github.com/onsip/SIP.js/commit/0862df7c825b27f90a5665f584334b232eddf644#diff-53f390d375398624afe1cfe1125f42bfR7).
If plugin modules could be .json files, I could just specify package.json
as the src of the module, instead of needing to manually synchronize
cordova_package.json.js with package.json.
I opened [CB-7278](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7278) on JIRA,
as well.

> in which case module.exports is simply the parsed object. Cordova modules
> should also have this ability, so that modular plugins don't have to be
> bundled before Cordova prepares them.
