HTML comments work in JavaScript too

I have done the same type of thing to comment out lines of a json file used for configuration . Append “//“ or something to the beginning of a key that I want to have temporarily “commented out”. (Be careful as some programs might expect those keys not to be there of course.)

Heh, I've done this in strict JSON config files:

    {
       "//": "lets us consume uncompiled protobufs (see issue #123)",
       "extern": "protobuf.js" 
    }
