I guess jq should work (depending on what you mean by comments). Check delpath(). jq is available in most distributions/OS'es package management system.

I have found a nodejs tool for that called strip-json-comments-cli which works ok, but since that requires npm install, it seems like kind of complicated to provision e.g. in a CI environment just for the single script. On the other hand I could add the stripped file in the git repo so that as long as there are no changes in the source file, the tool is not needed (which would solve the CI question). Can anyone suggest other tools (e.g. in go) or are you using another procedure to get comment support for the config file?
