Comment

In some files the option for checking comments is off by default 
(tsconfig, tslint and eslint configs), as corresponding tools allow comments in
JSON (this is hardcoded). 

So IDEs recognize this and allow you to add comments even if standard 
doesnt allow.

Otherwise use:
{
	"_comment": "comment text goes here...",
    "name": "your-app-name",
    ...
}

Can comments be used in JSON?

Comment

No.

The JSON is data only, and if you include a comment, then it will be data too.

You could have a designated data element called "_comment" (or something) that should be ignored by apps that use the JSON data.

You would probably be better having the comment in the processes that generates/receives the JSON, as they are supposed to know what the JSON data will be in advance, or at least the structure of it.

But if you decided to:

{    "_comment": "comment text goes here...",    "glossary": {       "title": "example glossary",       "GlossDiv": {          "title": "S",          "GlossList": {             "GlossEntry": {                "ID": "SGML",                "SortAs": "SGML",                "GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",                "Acronym": "SGML",                "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",                "GlossDef": {                   "para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",                   "GlossSeeAlso": ["GML", "XML"]                },                "GlossSee": "markup"             }          }       }    } }
