Slightly off topic, but for folks more accustomed to playing around with YAML for serialization, uncommented JSON is apparently a proper subset of YAML.

Json[1] is stricter than Javascript object literals. And the installed base of javascript is yet more generous. So that often accept; unquoted keys in objects, extra escapes in strings, and trailing commas in object key/value pairs. There is a lot of pressure on a implementer of a json reader to relax. So you all may find toggles to enable various kinds of generosity. Something to be said for setting a good strict example though.
