     import std.json: parseJSON;
     import std.file: read;

     JSONValue dubFile = parseJSON(cast(string)(read("dub.json")));
     string name = dubFile["name"].str;

 std.json is simple as pie.

However IIRC it fails with trailing commas, means that for 
reading user written JSON's it might be annoying.

I also tried experimental std json, asdf and vibe.d.
The only one that worked for me is vibe.d JSON subpackage, and 
adding simple commented lines stripping is simple with phobos, 
because there is absolutely no libraries that can handle JSON 
comments yet. (yes, I know it's not standard)

I wrote a JSON parser just for this use case

What was the problem with asdf? I've succesfully used it in the 
past.
