jsoncomment is good, but inline comment is not supported.

Check out jstyleson, which support

• inline comment
• single-line comment
• multi-line comment
• trailing comma.

Example

Install

pip install jstyleson

Usage

import jstyleson
result_dict = jstyleson.loads(invalid_json_str) # OK
jstyleson.dumps(result_dict)
