HuJSON: JSON for Humans (comments and trailing commas)

HuJSON - Human JSON

The HuJSON decoder is a JSON decoder that also allows

• comments, both /* ... */ and // to end of line
• trailing commas on arrays and object members

It is a soft fork of the Go standard library encoding/json package. The plan is to merge in all changes from each Go release.

Currently HuJSON is based on Go 1.13.

Grammar

The changes to the JSON grammar are:
