That is a language known as Microsoft's JSONC or Nigel Tao's JWCC (JSON with Comments and Commas) they are effectively equivalentI think this proposal makes sense and with regarding to Otar's questions regarding naming, I think a single JSON_ALLOW_JSONC flag to allow both comments and trailing commas would be the best option. If there's an existing, reasonably widely accepted standard for that, we should just reference it and not add separate flags that result in a combinatorial explosion. Best regards Tim Düsterhus
