A little off-topic, you could use JavaScript/NodeJS on your server and use ES6 template literals (the backticks `` used around "Christian"), but 7 years later you probably already use NodeJS :)

var myJSON = {
    "name": {
        "first": `"Christian"`,
        "last": "Broberg"
    },
    "age": 49,
    "skills": [ "JavaScript", "React", "NodeJS" ],
    "married": false,
    "superpowers": null
}
