Please, I urge you *not* to implement anything except the pure JSON standard. One of JSON’s great strengths is that there is only a single, canonical JSON standard. Implementing other standards would be damaging to interoperability. If people want nice config files, they can use PHP ;) -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
