Traverson not working with Create React App v5 applications

[ramirez]

Describe the bug
After upgrading to v5 of CRA, which uses a new version of WebPack, my application build fails because the module 'vm' is not present.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm install traverson

edit src/App.js

# add `import traverson from "traverson";` on top of the file

npm start

shows the following error:

ERROR in ./node_modules/jsonpath-plus/lib/jsonpath.js 43:20-33

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'vm' in '/Users/workspace/experiments/my-app/node_modules/jsonpath-plus/lib'

According to an issue in the jsonpath-plus repo (JSONPath-Plus/JSONPath#129) , the problem should be solved in versions 5.0.0 and up. As of 8.0.2, traverson uses jsonpath-plus v0.16.0. Upgrading to v5.0.0 should solve the problem

Node.js (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS 10.14, Linux distro]
• Node.js version:
• Traverson Version: 8.0.2

Browser/Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS 12.4
