Frequently asked questions

Why does my JSON show a trailing comma error?
Strict JSON does not allow trailing commas after the last item in an object or array, unlike JavaScript. Remove the comma before the closing brace or bracket and the parse will succeed.
What's the difference between minifying and beautifying JSON?
Beautifying adds indentation and line breaks so humans can read the structure, while minifying strips all whitespace to shrink payload size for transport. Both produce semantically identical JSON.
Can JSON have comments?
No, the JSON spec does not permit comments of any kind. If you need annotations use JSON5 or JSONC, or move the comments into a sibling key like "_comment".
