Try https://jsonnet.org/. Supports comments, plus a handful of additional useful features.

Jsonnet is awesome. We use it to generate our yaml files for kubernetes. YAML isn’t easy to parse, nor is it very flexible as a templating language. It gets cumbersome very quickly.

Jsonnet is a relief. Kubernetes should have been a dumb json config from the get go. JSON is ridiculously simple to parse and emit. It has huge interoperability as well with lots of programming languages.

Kubenetes never intended to get stuck on YAML. The CNCF is backing Ksonnet which is Jsonnet for k8s if you haven't seen it before.

Oh man, you just made my day. Comments, imports and mixins, I just had an 'evrika' moment.

P.S. You Romanian by any chance?
