JsonComment

✓ from jsoncomment import JsonComment

✗ import jsoncomment

JsonComment is the class; importing the module directly is not wrong but you need the class for usage.

Parse a JSON string with C-style comments.

from jsoncomment import JsonComment json_str = ''' { "name": "test", /* comment */ "value": 42 } ''' parser = JsonComment() data = parser.loads(json_str) print(data)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaJsonComment does not strip comments from strings; if a string value contains '//' or '/*', it may be misinterpreted.

fix

Ensure comment syntax is not inside string literals.

affects: all

gotchaThe library relies on Python's built-in json module; it does not validate JSON strictly and may accept malformed input.

fix

Always validate output if parsing untrusted input.

affects: all

Errors

Importing the module directly instead of the class.
