Can comments be used in JSON?

Question

Can I use comments inside a JSON file? If so, how?

Answer 1

JSON does not support comments. It was also never intended to be used for configuration files where comments would be needed.

Hjson is a configuration file format for humans. Relaxed syntax, fewer mistakes, more comments.

See hjson.github.io for JavaScript, Java, Python, PHP, Rust, Go, Ruby, C++ and C# libraries.
