Comment on What is the best file format for configuration file?

  It’s so easy to use, and you can read the comments from in your program too!

  ^(in case you weren’t just playing along, please never do comments this way)

    I liked the idea to be honest. I can just call the entry “description” instead and all is good ^^

      Ideally, you would use TOML for human-readable configuration and document your JSON API with external documentation instead of sending comments around a bunch. If you need to display the description to the end user though, that would be a valid use case.
