I enjoy using json5. I solves a real problem imo..

Regarding the criticism, I get the same bad energy when people get a kick out of fixing someone’s grammar, and then do not even comprehend what is being complicated.

Well done on the lib and thanks for building something useful! Good writeup also! Think I’m going to give the commit access trick a shot.

And what problem would that be?

If you don't know then why are you commenting? Go read the Readme, and stop talking smack about other people's projects when you don't know such basic details.
Having a tolerable experience when forced to hand-write JSON?

Pray tell, which intolerable experience did you ever had writing JSON by hand?

Lack of comments. Intolerable.

Lack of multiline indentation-ignored strings.

Same one that HTML7 solves.
