> I agree that json format is most accepted format among applications to
> communicate but this json is programme friendly , We needed something user
> friendly where we can pass comments comments as part of connector
> configuration.
> Features of Hjson :-
> # We are allowed to use comments
> # We are allowed to pass json as part of connector configuration key without
> escaping it which is very user friendly. (We have modified version of
> kafka-connect-elasticsearch where user can pass index mapping part of
> connector properties).
> Please find attached connector configuration in Json and Hjson. We are
> already running this in production. I have introduced HJSON filter on POST
> and PUT apis of kafka connect
