This package was recently updated to read the JSON files asynchronously using Node fs. This makes the plugin unusable in browser contexts, breaking linting that would run in a browser like https://github.com/iansan5653/github-markdown-a11y-extension.

While we can't (yet) import JSON directly in browsers using ESModules, we can just import JS. There's no reason these config files have to be JSON, and by changing them to JS we can simplify the code and change the extension back to a synchronous method. It should also be faster.

Pull Request Overview

This PR updates configuration files from JSON to plain JavaScript in order to simplify code, enable synchronous loading, and support browser contexts.

Thanks for making the change! I was hoping there's some cool way to connect JSON files/JSON Schema/directly importing JSON in ESM but that doesn't seem to be a thing yet.
