Read JSON and assign to a list of make variables

At the end, I came up with this:

define GetFromPkg
$(shell node -p "require('./package.json').$(1)")
endef

PROJECT      := $(call GetFromPkg,name)
LAST_VERSION := $(call GetFromPkg,version)
DESCRIPTION  := $(call GetFromPkg,description)
PROJECT_URL  := $(call GetFromPkg,repository.url)
