The **socket-config-js** package provides a lightweight Node library that reads, parses, and validates a project’s `socket.yml` configuration (the manifest used by Socket.dev). It exposes async helpers (`readSocketConfig`, `parseSocketConfig`) backed by a JSON‑Schema validator and detailed error types, making it useful for developers (or tooling such as the Socket CLI) that need to reliably load and type‑check Socket configuration files in JavaScript/TypeScript projects.
