Description

Node.js modules can be .json files, in which case module.exports is simply the parsed object. Cordova modules should also have this ability, so that modular plugins don't have to be bundled before Cordova prepares them.

I've submitted a pull request for this on github: https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/pull/71
