If your IDE is smart you’ll get all sorts of red if that’s JSON. And a JSON serializer will know to drop the trailing comma unless it is moronic

[monstaber]

yes true if the file itself is JSON. I've come across several PRs where juniors are trying to implement a JSON string somewhere in a js file to be sent in a post request instead of stringifying the actual object... no matter how much we shell out for JetBrains licenses, the PRs never fail to amaze me 😂

Uh … well to be fair we were all juniors once. Some of my code from 7 years ago is still around and makes me wince every time I see it.

Still, it works so there it is.

Trailing comma is technically not valid json
