It is quite common to have trailing commas in JSON, and a lot of parsers support it. I believe this could be trivially supported by PHP, even if you skip adding support for comments. Test script: --------------- json_decode( '{"a":1,}', JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR ); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80791&edit=1
