Yes, but whoever decided that json can't have trailing commas has my ire.

{ "a": 1,
  "b": 2,  <-- nope
}

There was some other pitfall I can't remember around missing keys and undefined, too, but I can't remember it now.

Trailing commas are supported in json5, as well as comments

I'm pretty sure you can have trailing commas...

You can't but some parser allow them. But those that do do not respect the standard.

Good to know. Must be why I thought you could. Thanks.
