# JSON++

Ah yes, JSON++. Very nice.

Basically JSON but with some extra features. Backwards compatible with JSON (except scientific notation; I'm lazy).

The following features are supported:

- Objects

- Arrays

- Strings

- Numbers (integers and floats in decimal, hexadecimal, octal, binary, but no scientific notation because I'm lazy)

- Booleans

- Null

- Comments (//, /* */)

- References (${key1.key2.key3[...]})

Basic example:

```

// This is a comment.

// You don't have to use specify the root object as an object.

// The parser will infer it if you start with key-value pairs. Otherwise, it will be an array.

key1 'Strings must be quoted.'

key2 "You can also use double quotes."

/* You don't need quotes for keys unless you want to use special characters.

 *

 * You don't need commas or colons. The parser will infer them.

 */

key3 null

booleans [ // Brackets are still required.

    true

    false

]

numbers [

    1       // Integer

    -5      // Negative numbers are supported.

    0xFF    // 255  Hexadecimal

    0b1010  // 10   Binary

    0o777   // 511  Octal

    0.5     // 0.5  Floating point

    0xf.8   // 15.5 Hexadecimal with floating point

    0b.1    // 0.5  Binary with floating point

    0o.2    // 0.25 Octal with floating point

]

objects [

    {

        key1: 'value1'

        key2: 'value2'

        key3: null

        key4: true

        key5: false

        key6: [

            1

            2

            3

        ]

    }

]

references [

    ${key1}       // Returns 'Strings must be quoted.'

    ${key2}       // Returns 'You can also use double quotes.'

    ${numbers.0}  // Returns 1

    ${numbers.4}  // Returns 10

    ${references} // Actually returns the  references  array. (This is a recursive reference.)

]
