I’m not wild about the unquoted keys: too many exceptions to the rule.
(Are hard spaces allowed? etc.)
Also not a fan of single quotes. I don’t see what purpose that serves,
unless the format is to use them exclusively in lieu of double-quotes ..
which, for most of us, would indeed be easier to type.
IMO JSON should simply allow comments (// or /**/) and trailing commas.
These are SORELY needed in JSON for it to be really human-friendly.
Perl’s JSON::XS adds EOL comment support but using # instead of //. (wtf?!?)

Hi Aseem,
Is it possible to get the parsed tree of the json object having location
information(line and character) for each property, value, comment,etc?
Thanks
Sam

I love JSON, but writing it by hand has always been a pain.
Needing to (double-)quote keys, not being able to document the data
with comments, and not having support for trailing commas or
multi-line strings -- all of which are available and work perfectly
well on modern ES5 engines, including Node.
After stewing on this for over a year, I bit the bullet today and
made this idea a reality: a "JSON5" parser that supports these and
other ES5 features in JSON.
https://github.com/aseemk/json5 <https://github.com/aseemk/json5>
It's built off of Douglas Crockford's own eval()-free JSON parser,
and it's available now on npm as "json5".
I'd love to get your guys' thoughts and feedback on this. And it'd
be a dream if package.json files could be written in this looser
syntax one day. =)
Cheers,
Aseem
