jsonhero-web VS json5

JSON Hero is another JSON viewer that allows us to explore and navigate our JSON data quickly and easily. Instead of providing a graphical visualization like JSON Crack, it allows us to see the structure of JSON in either a column, tree, or JSON layout.

Last year me and three friends launched a small open source project named jsonhero.io. We built it during our evenings and weekends, and to our surprise it quickly became super popular as a way to view JSON documents, receiving thousands of GitHub stars within a matter of weeks.

Suppose if you visit this link in your browser: lexica.art/api/v1/search?q=apples. You will get a JSON response back consisting of an array of images that match "apples". To understand the schema of the JSON response, you can use Postman or JSONHero.

It looks like it's open source and you can run it locally if you don't trust a third party website (and you probably shouldn't, depending on the data you paste in there): https://github.com/apihero-run/jsonhero-web

JSON5 support

Meanwhile, formats have been evolving (JSON5, YAML), config entry points are constantly changing. These fluctuations, fortunately, were covered by tools like the cosmiconfig.

I think JSON5 is fairly close to this: https://json5.org

I reckon the only thing it's missing to be truly accessible to non-techies is that string values still need to be quoted, i.e. you can't have:

key: this is my value

(I'm definitely not saying it would be a good idea to allow quotes to be dropped, just that that's the only potential stumbling block I see for non-techies.)

I believe that's JSON5.

It's my preferred configuration file format, it fixes all the problems I have with JSON (trailing commas, comments) without turning it into a mess full of gotchas like YAML.

JSON 5 support

I would like to see mention of JSON5 which is 11 years its elder. For comments in JSON, JSON5 is a good starting point.
