Why VS Code lets settings files break JSON rules
VS Code's configuration files accept comments and trailing commas thanks to a custom JSON mode, but this flexibility quickly backfires when strict parsers get involved.
JSON 1 story
Within Web Frameworks & Protocols, JSON deserves separate treatment because its interfaces, configuration, and failure modes differ from surrounding tools or components. Coverage uses JSON architecture, JSON protocol, JSON configuration, and JSON compatibility to explain how the layer works, what it depends on, and where compatibility or configuration matters. This keeps JSON narrower than Web Frameworks & Protocols as a whole while giving readers enough context to compare approaches, understand expected behavior, and recognize when a problem-specific tag is the better fit.
