-JSONC is a superset of JSON which supports comments. JSON formatted files are readable to humans but the lack of comments decreases readability. With JSONC, you can use block (`/* */`) and single line (`//`) comments to describe the functionality. Microsoft VS Code also uses this format in their configuration files like `settings.json`, `keybindings.json`, `launch.json`, etc.
