A fork can be a spoon for you, if you choose to use it that way. Nobody is telling you what you are supposed to use it for, but still JSON was designed as data format. If you don't like the format or feel that JSON is too restrictive/bad feel free to extend it or create your own format from scratch. |

While I don't think that comments belong in JSON, I don't agree JSON is designed as "data and not code" format. Trees of tokens are actually the natural format for writing code (also known as Abstract Syntax Trees, AST) and the data/code distinction is really, really blury when those two meet together, so it's only to be expected that people will end up coding in JSON (what are the 'build definition' files for various build tools / package managers, if not very simple programs)?
