I'm aware of at least three JSON libraries that at least can accept comments (Gson in lenient mode, Json.NET, and json-cpp are the ones I've used personally that do)-- it's hard to convince everyone that JSON needs comments, though, and comments are of limited utility if it's not guaranteed that they'll parse everywhere. But you really only need comments in JSON if you're doing stuff like storing configuration in JSON, and JSON's too fiddly in general to be a great config file format (too easy to do something like forget a comma; no support for types beyond object, array, (floating point) number, and string). Something more like YAML without the wonky type inference would be better, IMO.
