> Yes, Doug Crockford deliberately removed comments from JSON but people keep putting them back in. If we’re going to have comment-enriched JSON (e.g. for human-editable configuration files), we might as well have a standard one.
The text "deliberately removed comments from JSON" links to https://web.archive.org/web/20150105080225if_/https://plus.g... where Doug not only explains the reason, but also a solution which works with the existing standard. It's imperative that the JWCC author explain what they find lacking in Doug's solution - stripping comments before handing off the a JSON parser. A new format is a really weird way to go about fixing a problem that already has a solution.
