[x3d-public] How to tell if a file is JSON

[Leonard Daly]

Comments are not allowed in a JSON file (I used 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/244777/can-i-use-comments-inside-a-json-file 
and the references contained in the page, especially to json.org, RFC 
4627 and RFC 7159).

Does this approach puts comments into JSON data elements? If so, that 
means comments have been elevated from text in the file to data in the 
file. If this approach is to capture comments throughout the original 
non-JSON file, does that mean the data model between a JSON-encoded 
scene and an XML-encoded scene is significantly different?

Out of curiosity, does the compressed binary encoding capture comments 
from anyplace in the original scene file? If so, does the data model 
that is stored in the CBE file match that of the original file?
