A lot of good answers but I would add one note:

This is actually pretty genius, why haven't ever thought of that?
I liked the idea to be honest. I can just call the entry "description" instead and all is good ^^
I believe the JSON deserializer .NET ships with has options to allow C#-style comments in JSON files.
json with comments can be parsed by a yaml parser. It's how I write yaml, in fact (yaml is a superset of json. any valid json is valid yaml, but it also supports comments)
JSON5 is a superset of JSON that supports comments.
