Here's an instance of the package.json file that express.js generates

{
    "name": "packagename",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "private": true,
    "dependencies": {
        "express": "2.5.5",
        "stylus": "0.22.2"
    }
}

It's fairly obvious that I can add packages to the dependencies object. However I have no idea what "private": true means. Nor do I know what syntax I can use in the dependencies value fields. I've Googled for quite a while without discovering anything.

What I'm wondering is pretty much if a complete summary of all settings that the package.json file can contain exists, as I could not find one. I haven't checked man since I'm on a windows PC.

Thanks
