(Perhaps with Blackjack and hookers. :) > You can still add pragmas trivially in JSON, this doesn't prevent that problem, it just makes it more convoluted at the expense of a powerful documentation feature. Computers/systems do not need comments to exchange data between themselves, and that is the problem JSON is trying to solve: data exchange. If you're using it for configuration and other human-centric tasks, and wish to communicate human-centric things in the file, you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Use some other format that was designed with those things in mind. If you're saying the designers of a hammer didn't think of being able to handle Robertson screws you're unfairly critiquing the tool.
