I've recently noticed that JSONlint doesn't accept any comments in the JSON, regardless of whether they are valid. The following JSON is valid in Postman, but JSONlint doesn't allow it.

{
	"name": "Row 1 Test",
	"additionalDryBack": 1, //if additionalDryBack is provided, do not provide irrigationBeginDelay
	// "irrigationBeginDelay": 120, //if irrigationBeginDelay is provided, do not provide additionalDryBack
}

That is correct, JSON does not support any comments!

You may use workaround like "comment": "my comment..." or use JSONC, which is "another format".

"JSON" and "JSON with Comments" are treaded separately.

But I agree that it would be nice when there will be JSONClint some day!
