The fact that it allows comments is really, really handy. I used to be a JSON advocate until I realized this one useful piece of info.
Yeah, such a simple, but still killer feature. Really sad that JSON doesn't support them.
I wonder how you'd even implement that. Like maybe {! At the beginning.
Most comment-aware JSON parsers I've seen just use standard // to delineate comment lines.
They make sense.
