JSON5 is a proposed extension to JSON
can't you just do
_dontcare = {es5: syntax, /*with comments*/} data = JSON.stringify(_dontcare) ?

Yeah, you can do that in your .js source, but not in a separate, non-executed file. It is useful IMHO to separate static data from code. Also, this is useful for configuration files.

No, because syntax is undefined. Trailing comma and comment is removed when it is stringified.
