This is invalid (though probably unintentionally). An array cannot have
names for elements.
There can't be two comments with the same key though. -- Andrei
Why not? I believe this is valid json:
{
"comment" : "this is the first value",
"value1" : 42,
"comment" : "this is the second value",
"value2" : 101
}
Though, I would much rather see a better comment tag than "comment":.
json isn't ideal for this.
You're right. Good convo:

Yes, that's what I checked first :)
No, he is wrong, and even if he was right, he would still be wrong. JSON
objects are unordered so if you read then write you can get:
{
"comment" : "this is the second value",
"value1" : 42,
"value2" : 101
}
Sure, but:
a) we aren't writing
b) comments are for the human reader, not for the program. Dmd should
ignore the comments, and it doesn't matter the order.
c) it's not important, I think we all agree a format that has specific
allowances for comments is better than json.
