Zed supports comments in the JSON file. I don't think I've seen any editor which uses JSON for configuration not allow comments in the file.


Then it isn’t json anymore! Don’t call it that


I wonder if we can come up with an agreed name for almost json stuff... Maybe json+ and we can tac-on additional characters for what's added. json+c (plus comments), json+t (plus trailing commas), json+tc or json +ct (plus comments and trailing commas), and so on


json5[1] is a thing.
