Description

MediaWiki uses a more relaxed form of JSON that permits both // style comments and unneeded trailing commas. But codeeditor that we use to edit that json shows error on the first comment or comma, and does not show any real errors. This is especially evident when designing a new graph in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:GraphSandbox

IKhitron subscribed.

Comments and trailing commas are supported in JSON5, and JSON5 support seems to have been added to Ace in 2019.
