Remove JSON comments safely (no upload)
Many configs allow comments, but JSON.parse does not. Learn safe removal strategies and validation steps.
JSON comments are not allowed Playbook
JSON comments are not allowed. Step-by-step no-upload workflow: validate, locate root cause, fix quickly, and verify.
TL;DR: Validate -> locate exact failing spot -> fix the minimal part -> re-validate.
Execution steps
- Validate input locally. Start with a validator or parser-friendly converter.
- Locate root cause. Use line/position/error token to isolate one failing place.
- Apply a minimal fix. Do not refactor all content at once.
- Re-validate and continue. Once clean, convert/export safely.
