JSON5-Spezifikation
JSON5 ist ein superset von JSON enabling comments, trailing commas, unquoted Schlüssel, und mehr relaxed syntax.
Syntax Extensions
JSON5 allows single and multi-line comments using // and /* */ syntax. Object keys may be unquoted if they are valid identifiers. Strings can use single quotes in addition to double quotes. Trailing commas in arrays and objects are permitted. Numbers support hexadecimal notation, leading/trailing decimal points, and positive/negative infinity.

Every valid JSON document is also valid JSON5, ensuring backward compatibility. JSON5 parsers are available for JavaScript, Python, and other languages. The format is primarily intended for human-edited configuration files, not data interchange. JSON5 is not an official standard but is widely adopted in tooling. For machine-to-machine exchange, standard JSON remains preferred.
