Support for comments in JSON
See original GitHub issueWhat’s your take on supporting single-line and block comments in JSON? Several popular projects (e.g. TypeScript) allow comments in JSON configuration files:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5", /* Specify ECMAScript target version: 'ES3' (default), 'ES5', 'ES2015', 'ES2016', 'ES2017','ES2018' or 'ESNEXT'. */
"module": "commonjs", /* Specify module code generation: 'none', 'commonjs', 'amd', 'system', 'umd', 'es2015', or 'ESNext'. */
// "lib": [], /* Specify library files to be included in the compilation. */
// "allowJs": true, /* Allow javascript files to be compiled. */
// "checkJs": true, /* Report errors in .js files. */
// "jsx": "preserve", /* Specify JSX code generation: 'preserve', 'react-native', or 'react'. */
// ...
}
Although the JSON spec doesn’t include comments, I think it would be helpful to have support for them in Prism; comments can be particularly helpful in technical blog posts.
What do you think? I’ll be happy to send a PR! 😃
