json5 support with comments

[lmajano]

Does Jackson jr support json5 with comments?

[cowtowncoder]

Jackson-jr supports whatever jackson-core supports, which only includes Java (/* ... */ and //) and Script ('#') comments; both optionally if enabled.

JSON5 is not supported (if I recall what that is), bits and pieces may be supported.

Thanks so much! I did not know this. Do you have a snippet on how to enable it in jackson jr?

You'd first configure JsonFactory with settings (JsonReadFeatures), then JSON instance created with factory. So something like:

JsonFactory jf = JsonFactory.builder().with(JsonReadFeature.ALLOW_JAVA_COMMENTS).build();
JSON jr = JSON.builder(jf).build();
POJO value = jr.beanFrom(POJO.class, jsonString);
