Hi, even tough json is a data exchange format I find it sometimes useful to use these files as configs. Then after a while you would like to add a comment or some other person has forgotten to format the file and the formatter you are using messes the file up. also when it gets bigger its sometimes very unreadable.
A solution to this could be to use a file format with comments which extends json. Something like YAML or http://hjson.org/ If I did know about hjson earlier I would probably just try to have people use the same formatter in project I take part. Since I did not, here is a proposal for a json extension with a formatter which tries to mimic the behavior of gofmt. https://komkom.github.io/ This is all in early development - any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
