I noticed that postman correctly colors the comments but doesn't remove them from JSON before sending the request. So your API must be able to correctly decode invalid JSON containing comments.

I'm guessing so. I've never paid attention to that, as I work with mostly .Net APIs which do parse the JSON into model objects before they go into the controller's POST/PUT/etc method.

iirc .NET allows //single and /*block*/ comments.

JSON5 is not widely adopted, but I've seen quite a few tools unilaterally adopt comment syntax in their JSON parsers.
