Using axios error

Hi I have a rest api and I want to use a library called Axios to do ajax requests on my api but when I tried adding the package npm install axios --save and import it into one of my component import axios from 'axios' it gives me this error

ERROR in ./~/axios/package.json
Module parse failed: /Users/alleoindong/Public/projects/restoko/restoko-desktop-app/node_modules/axios/package.json Line 2: Unexpected token :
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.
| {
|   "_args": [
|     [
|       "axios@^0.8.1",
 @ ./~/axios/lib/adapters/http.js 11:10-41

any work around or hints of the problem? Thank you so much for helping!

None of the solutions mentioned above solved it for me. Could someone guide me to an example of this boilerplate using axios or any other HTTP library? Would be much appreciated! Thanks

Should we support json-loader as default loaders?

I think yes, because node require json file is natural, but it was broken by webpack.
