With `require` you get the JSON object; With `fs.readFileSync` you get a
string that have to be parsed using `JSON.parse`.
So `var pkg = require(__dirname + '/package.json')` is much shorter than
`var pkg = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/package.json'))`,
especially when you cannot use `fs` module without loading it before with
`var fs = require('fs')`
