Comments in JSON are easy. You just strip them out before sending to a strict parser. Some parsers even support them out of the box. In fact they're so easy they were already in JSON, and then later removed. > I removed comments from JSON because I saw people were using them to hold parsing directives, a practice which would have destroyed interoperability. ~Douglas Crockford
