JSONC allows comments and trailing commas, but adoption seems to be low.

VSCode uses it for configuration, but when I wanted to use it in Python (to add context to source-controlled Elasticsearch schemas) there were only a couple old barely-maintained libraries for parsing.

You can often find better maintained libraries for json5, which is a superset of jsonc

Do they work, though? If it’s a mostly stable standard, doesn’t seem like you’d need a frequently updated parser.
