That, and comments!

Personally, I really hope Human JSON, https://github.com/tailscale/hujson , will get more popular!

JSON initially had comments.

They were removed from the standard because some were using them for custom parser directives.

I feel like that is throwing away all the advantages of comments with any benefits. If somebody wants to add parsing directives, they could still be added through specific keys or strings.

There's also JSON5
