Can json.loads ignore trailing commas?

Question

As mentioned in this StackOverflow question, you are not allowed to have any trailing commas in json. For example, this

{
    \"key1\": \"value1\",
    \"key         


        

Answer 1

You can wrap python's json parser with jsoncomment

JSON Comment allows to parse JSON files or strings with:

• Single and Multi line comments
• Multi line data strings
• Trailing commas in objects and arrays, after the last item

Example usage:

import json
from jsoncomment import JsonComment

with open(filename) as data_file:    
    parser = JsonComment(json)
    data = parser.load(data_file)
