JSON comments

Even though JSON standard does not support comments, this JSON parser is able to handle comments akin to those found in C programming language. Therefore, users can include comments for better documentation and readability without affecting the JSON's structure or the data's integrity.

The parser can recognize and properly ignore both // single-line comment and /* multi-line comment */ comments, allowing users to annotate their JSON files just like they would in a C source file.

{
    // this is a single-line comment
    "address": "0x12345678",
    /* 
      this
      is 
      a
      multi-line
      comment
    */
    "file": "hello.world"
}
