ruby-skyjam VS json5

I found code generation to be useful in Ruby with protobuf. This:

gives that:

I would certainly enjoy having a DSL to write descriptive code to validate using JSON schema, but it would be even better if the Ruby definitions could be generated and persisted in Ruby files using that DSL.

Also, storing things in basic hash/array types works, but having dedicated types is useful, so that one can ensure not shoving one kind of hash in place of another unrelated kind of hash.

As for types themselves in general, there's RBS and Sorbet. One could have type definition generation as well for even deeper static and runtime checks.

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.
