The software maybe backwards compatible, but the format is not backwards compatible as old software (expecting JSON) cannot parse the JSON5 format.

- mort96 3y agoI'm not going to argue about that, since I never claimed that JSON5 is backwards compatible with JSON. I said software can move from JSON to JSON5 without breaking backwards compatibility. If you want to claim that JSON5 is forwards compatible but not backwards compatible with JSON, that's fine by me.
