Goes to show that there is no perfect format for all use cases. The lack of comments is a good thing for interoperability in machine-to-machine communication. But it a bad thing for hand-written configuration files.
- dtech 9y agoWhy are no comments good for interoperability? Numerous formats can contain comments and I've never seen someone having a problem parsing them out, especially since they usually cannot be nested and/or allow you to skip until the next newline. I personally dislike it the most when you want to provide a commented example of your data format, vanilla JSON won't allow you to do that.
