Jsonhero.io: Enhanced JSON structure visualization
More on JSON5 is here:
I like the comments and trailing commas too. It has a few other small improvements too.

Wrote yet another JSON parser supporting comments, trailing commas, and multiline strings
json though ubiquitous message exchange format, is for the machines but less so for humans. So jsonc is a little attempt to improve a bit: eg- with comments it would be possible to neatly annotate the data, trailing commas allow for proper diff on json config files and literal multiline strings greatly facilities breaking a super long line. I plan to implement most of [JSON5](https://json5.org] spec over time specifically object keys without wrapping quotes and string values with single quotes. Feedbacks welcome.

Let's take the "kitchen sink" example at the JSON5 homepage (say it's in a file j5demo.json5):

How boring should your team be
> I've encountered a code written in the 12factor style of using environment variables for configuration, and in that particular case there was no validation nor documentation of the configuration options. Is this typical?
This just feels like bad development and isn't unlike being given a random .properties/.ini file with no explanations of what the values mean. Sounds like someone didn't do their job, or the processes to encourage (require) them to do so weren't in place.
> For onboarding new members, I would have thought it preferable to have a JSON configuration, where both documentation and validation of configuration options are provided by a JSON Schema file.
You know, this can work, but then you need your applications to be able to read that file and feeding it in through your container management solution (which many use for a variety of reasons) wouldn't be as easy. Even without containers, you'd still need to look out so you don't end up with 20 JSON files all of which might need to be changed for a new environment.
Honestly, something like JSON5 https://json5.org/ was pretty cool because of added comments, but otherwise JSON is a bit cumbersome to use. That said, some web servers like Caddy have gone for accepting JSON configuration as well, which lends itself nicely to automation, so it's still a valid approach: https://caddyserver.com/docs/json/

The "Industry Coefficient" of some widely used Rust crates
Seems hyperbolic to me, although the "comments" point is fair (and one reason I like JSON5 more)
- eslintrc.js to eslintrc.ts

Show HN: The Programming Language Database
> JSON is the only popular language in the PLDB without comments.
Some folks actually tried addressing that limitation (and some others) with JSON5: https://json5.org/
Though sadly it never really caught on outside of a few niche projects. At the same time, however, I've seen some projects out there also use JSONC or another non-standard version that adds comments, since clearly people want them: https://komkom.github.io/jsonc/

I thought I did? https://json5.org/
Parsing json as a human is unambiguous and simple.
Parsing yaml and toml is full of ambiguity and readability problems depending on where you're reading it.
The only people who think json is a bad format are the type of people that think semicolons are the problem. They're just not.
