JSON5 – JSON for Humans

Looks very nice, but I feel it's one of those "yeah, it's better, but only useful for personal projects, or until it gets critical mass which won't be until after I'm dead, if at all" projects.

can this be used to convert llm output to json?

JSON6 will feature triple-quote string quoting. Either made out of “ or ‘. Wake me up when it happens. PS: quoting line returns for multiline sounds weird. But who am I to comment…

KISS

It's infuriating that we're still struggling with this after so many years.

Every time I learn a new format I want to scream "why can't you be normal?"

Now, it would be great if we have parsers, editor plugins and json schema supprot as well.

until then, jsonc works for me

Oh he'll no not another standard no one needs. JSON is good enough

only needs trailing commas

Why not just use YAML at that point?

Isn't this simply YAML but with curly braces?

Another thing is that It feels wrong to have comments in JSON, like allowing comments in CSV files.
