no comments in JSON

the module tries to verify (starting at line 57) that every open comment ( /* ) is closed. however, this makes no sense - JSON syntax does not support comments of any kind, and every time the module encounters either /* or //, except when inside a string token, it should mark it as an error. verifying that a verbotten "open comment" is matched by another vebotten "close comment" seems illogical.

I guess you are Kipod@phabricator?

The current (HHVM) PHP version prior to PHP7 does permit comments. I do know various JSON parsers in other environment which ignore comments.

There are people who want to comment out parts of the data, and activate elements in the future, or add a timestamp or revision note to some changed elements. I do regard this as meaningful.

If you want strict JSON, please use mw.text.jsonDecode() at PHP7.

JSONutil does support an extended structure within wiki page, containing line breaks within strings and comments, but will convert this into strict JSON before forwarding to jsonDecode().
