I very much disagreed with you two comments up, but this more fleshed out response actually makes a lot of sense. You just moved me from "I'm going to add a build rule that strips comments from all my JSON files so that I can have comments in my configs" to "The next time I want comments in JSON, I'm going to see if what mlthoughts2018 said makes sense in this case. Do I really need to comment this JSON file, or would it be better to put the comments somewhere else instead?"

We'll see how it goes!

Cheers
