Convert to JSON with comments from PowerShell

Question

I have a very simple json and this code works for him:

function Get-CustomHeaders() {
   return Get-Content -Raw -Path $JsonName | ConvertFrom-Json
}
         


        

Answer 1

Here you have an example which can't be handled right by previous answers:

{
"url":"http://something" // note the double slash in URL
}

so here is regexp that solves also this problem.

$configFile = $configFile -replace '(?m)(?<=^([^"]|"[^"]*")*)//.*' -replace '(?ms)/\*.*?\*/'

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Powershell 6.0+ can load JSON with comments in it.
