jsonc comment support

[SebastianJ91]

Hi,

would it be possible to add jsonc support for allowing comments?
jsonc is used in some configuration files like Visual Studio Code.
Maybe also json5 would be an topic of interest.

A mode switch between standard json or extended json-features would be needed.

Thanks for your suggestion. There are many JSON dialects. Adding support for them is not on the roadmap any time soon.

Hi
ACE editor supports JSON5, Is there any plan to support it?

[josdejong]

I've no plans to spend time on that anytime soon myself. If anyone is interested in implementing it we can discuss the details to see if it is feasible (it's an open source project), but I expect it will be a lot of work.
