<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Comments are not allowed in a JSON file
(I used
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/244777/can-i-use-comments-inside-a-json-file">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/244777/can-i-use-comments-inside-a-json-file</a>
and the references contained in the page, especially to json.org,
RFC 4627 and RFC 7159). <br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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?<br>

<br>
very interesting observation!
<br>
<br>
- since JSON does not support comments, and
<br>
- since we have come up with an allowable approach for comments
inside an X3D scene graph that allows round-trip support with
other encodings,
<br>
<br>
then
<br>
<br>
- we probably ought to deliberately avoid capturing or including
any comments in the JSON encoding that might appear outside the
"X3D" object declaration.

all the best, Don
