/* */) and single-line (//) comments. Developers primarily use this format for human-readable configuration files, most notably in Microsoft Visual Studio Code. While extremely useful for leaving instructions inside a configuration file, the .jsonc format has a critical disadvantage: it is not valid JSON. Passing a .jsonc file into a standard JSON.parse() function or standard API endpoint will immediately trigger a syntax error and crash the parser. To use the data in standard web applications, developers must convert the file to strict json, which completely destroys and removes all comments. Alternatively, you can convert the file to yaml or .toml, which are formats that natively support both structured data and comments.
Convert.Guru analyzes your JSONC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our JSONC converter.
