Commenting in JSON

{
  "field": "Commenting this field...",
  "field": 1337,

  "lorem": "Lorem ipsum dolor...",
  "lorem": "ipsum"
}

This is a valid JSON. When parsed it becomes:

{
  "field": 1337,
  "lorem": "ipsum"
}

look at the comments to the stackoverflow answer and think again if it's a good solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/244777/can-i-comment-a-json-file/18018493#18018493

It's definitely not a good solution. It's just interesting :)
