Yes, it's a field. Specifically, a field containing human-readable information about what is going on in adjacent fields, much like a comment. I see no issue with putting such information in a json file.

As for "you don't comment by putting information in variables": In Python, your objects have the __doc__ attribute, which is specifically used for this purpose.
