# HuJSON - "Human JSON" ([JWCC](https://nigeltao.github.io/blog/2021/json-with-commas-comments.html))

[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/tailscale/hujson.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/tailscale/hujson)

The `github.com/tailscale/hujson` package implements

the [JWCC](https://nigeltao.github.io/blog/2021/json-with-commas-comments.html) extension

of [standard JSON](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259).

The `JWCC` format permits two things over standard JSON:

1. C-style line comments and block comments intermixed with whitespace,

2. allows trailing commas after the last member/element in an object/array.

All JSON is valid JWCC.

For details, see the JWCC docs at:

https://nigeltao.github.io/blog/2021/json-with-commas-comments.html

## Visual Studio Code association

Visual Studio Code supports a similar `jsonc` (JSON with comments) format. To

treat all `*.hujson` files as `jsonc` with trailing commas allowed, you can add

the following snippet to your Visual Studio Code configuration:

```json

"files.associations": {

    "*.hujson": "jsonc"

},

"json.schemas": [{

    "fileMatch": ["*.hujson"],

    "schema": {

        "allowTrailingCommas": true

    }

}]

```
