Fatih AygünCan we please standardize JSONC already? I just want simple data, trailing commas, comments, and nothing else. I hate YAML and TOML with a passion.
noim@cyco130 or json5
@noim That would work too :)
Naman@cyco130 json5 please!
Mauro 🇵🇸@cyco130 KDL maybe? https://github.com/kdl-org
@evilpilaf I guess my original comment wasn't clear enough :) I just want comments in JSON. JSON5 seems to be the best fit so far.
@cyco130 ahh sorry, the mention of Yaml/Toml threw me off
@evilpilaf Yeah, to me YAML is "more 'readable' but less easily parseable (even by humans) JSON" but TOML is probably more related to INI than JSON.
Christoph@cyco130 Yes. YAML is the worst. However, there is a reason why json has no comments:
"Comments should never be used to transmit anything meaningful. That is
what JSON is for."

@siedlerchr I admire the designers of JSON for protecting it from being bastardized by putting metadata into comments. It's probably one of the most important reasons why it was so successful as a data exchange format.
But we need a config fornat as well. A separate one, of course. Let's keep the current one as is. JSON5 seems promising.
