Hello,

Comments in JSON files are a great way to document a configuration file for example.

Even JSON's Douglas Crockford agrees that it is a helpful thing and it suggests using JSMin before handing it to the JSON parser in here

So, I would like to suggest adding that feature do the json module.

A simple boolean argument, clear_comments, with the default False to keep previous compatibility.

With the clear_comments=True and following JSMin "rules", comments in the // form should be replaced with linefeeds and comments in the /* */ form with spaces.

Best regards,

JM
