Open and edit JSON5 files

You can open, view and edit JSON5 files for free right here in your browser, without VS Code and without uploading anything. A superset of JSON from 2012 that borrows more of JavaScript’s syntax: comments, unquoted keys, single quotes, trailing commas and hexadecimal numbers.
