It works by stripping comments and normalizing syntax before passing the cleaned input to your chosen JSON parser's load() or loads() methods.\n\nThe package supports single-line comments using #, ;, or //, multiline comments with /* */, and triple-quoted multiline strings similar to Python. It also provides convenience methods like loadf() to load JSON files with a fallback default value and dumpf() to save JSON with indentation. However, the project has been abandoned since 2019-02-08 with no active maintenance, which means it will not receive updates for compatibility with newer Python versions or security issues.","worth_installing":"No. While the package is permissive (MIT) and has low install friction, it is abandoned (last release 2019-02-08) with no active maintenance. For new projects, use a maintained alternative. For legacy systems already using jsoncomment, it may continue to work on Python 3.3+, but you assume all maintenance risk and will receive no security updates."},"id":"jsoncomment","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsoncomment","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsoncomment.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jsoncomment/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-02-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"jsoncomment","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A wrapper to JSON parsers allowing comments, multiline strings and trailing commas"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":136149,"position":11403,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.2"}
