JSON5 has both of these

I can't find any JSON5 parser that isn't for JavaScript. I've started writing one in C that can then bind to other language, but it takes time to write!

Is the list on their website not good? https://github.com/json5/json5/wiki/In-the-Wild

And it shouldn't take much to modify an existing JSON parser.
