JSON does not officially support comments, which means you cannot use standard comment syntax such as // or /* */ in a valid JSON file. If you need to add notes or explanations, a common approach is to include a special property such as "_comment" or "description" within the JSON object kryds og tværs. This keeps the file valid while allowing you to document what a particular section or value is used for. For projects that require actual comments, formats such as JSONC or YAML may be more suitable.
