i think you can possibly define how you want to use json for a configuration file; json by itself is not much more than javascript objects/maps, defined as a data format. I frankly don't think that you need to be too pious about standard compliance if dealing with a cofiguration format for your application.

And without comments or optional quoted keys single quotes or trailing commas, which makes editing by hand more work and IMO less readable.

Editors, for one, will be an issue
