The whole package.json content is shipped in the bundle

What happened?

Hi, I noticed that the whole package.json is bundled in the distributed output of this library, including cjs, mjs, browser unminified and browser minified versions. This increases the size of this package and all downstream packages and apps unnecessarily, and expose metadata, including a long list of scripts, dependency names, and contributor emails, that isn't needed at runtime.

How can we reproduce the issue?

In https://unpkg.com/peerjs/dist/peerjs.min.js, search something like "contributors" or other keywords that appear in the package.json

What do you expected to happen?

Not include the whole package.json in the bundles

Environment setup

Any platform

peerjs v1.5.4 (latest), all cjs, mjs, browser unminified and browser minified versions

Is this a regression?

No response

Anything else?

It's due to these two:

peerjs/lib/api.ts

Line 4 in c073252

import { version } from "../package.json";

peerjs/lib/socket.ts

Line 4 in c073252

import { version } from "../package.json";

Parcel can't treeshake this, even though it is ES module import. I guess many bundle tools can't, or intentionally don't treeshake such JSON file import, and include the whole JSON file content in the final output.

I'll create a PR
