#PSA : using #json formatted config files in #python
Just learned about #json5
json data format is close to python dict;
json5 is closer:-)

it allows trailing commas but It doesn't have python comments so we still have to remember how to use /* comments*/.

There are other niceties and full conversion back to json if needed.

JSON-IO
A #java library to convert between #JSON, #JSON5, #TOON and Java objects.
https://github.com/jdereg/json-io
Particularly interesting as it's lenient & tolerant, and would parse even badly formed JSON output from #LLMs structured output!

Ich habe gerade gelernt, dass es #JSON und #JSON5 gibt.

wait... wait! are you telling me that #pnpm supports `package.json5` instead of `package.json`??? and I learn about it years later?

I've been praying for something like this for ages... and it turns out that we already had it.

contemplating making a #JSON5 -> YAML transpiler just to never write any more YAML.

I'm not hating this #json #json5 #programming

@srob True. And there is a Dart package for it so perhaps I could use it instead of the built-in parser library...hmm...

#DartLang #json5

pub.dev/packages/json5

So I noticed the lack of prominent #JSON5 parsers for C++, and made one of my own: https://github.com/mortie/json5cpp

The goal is to be simple, robust, and a very small dependency for projects which already use JsonCpp.

Thoughts?

@slightlyoff I use #JSON5 in a Chrome Extension I own solely to comment the manifest and it works great.

I do think the bigger issue is that JSON is a terrible configuration language (but great wire format!). We should be using #TOML, #YAML, or something else more targeted for that use case.

@reiver RIGHT!?

They keep coming out with new package managers and I'm *still* not writing #JSON5!?
