- oofbey 5y agoDouglas Crockford explicitly refused to allow comments in JSON because he saw people using them to faithfully encode XML metadata in them. So actually you could blame XML for that too. Now YAML is mostly replacing JSON in places where you want human readability, and JSON is only used for data exchange.
