Commenting functionality for JSON files

Support Feature Requests

Problem description:
I would like to suggest adding a feature similar to VSCode’s commenting functionality for JSON files to make it easier to leave comments within the code.

You can not comment in a JSON file as it is not part of the syntax.

3

In VsCode there is JSON with comments

4

That is part of VS code and not JSON.

5

But still it would be a nice addition…

Maybe submit a feedback request

Maybe use threads? I think you select code, right-click and start thread

I meant commenting it out

@GoodVessel92551 This is the place for feedback/feature requests…

I agree that this would be good, but also you can’t comment in JSON. As far as I know, you can’t do this in VSC either - I think you have an extension for it.

You can just do the following:

{
  "data": {
    "__comment": "The name of the person",
    "name": "John Doe",

    "__comment": "The person's age",
    "age": 43,

    "__comment": "Their website",
    "website": "https://example.com"
  }
}

How would you comment out on an object???

there are no comments in JSON. But you can make keys comments like people said before. And in JS just use // or a multi line comment /* ... */
