I have seen people using additional attributes for comments. That does influence the runtime, which comments should never do, but I thought it as a practical solution. Not optimal of course.

Though not all JSON parsers accept random attributes. The AWS CloudFormation one, for example, is extreme in its refusal to accept "malformed" JSON. It really frustrates me sometimes.
