Add comment on the "manifest.json"

Question

I want to write a chrome extension, so I need to write manifest.json, unfortunately, the IDE will not recognize the comments.

The documentation said:

It is a JSON-formatted file, with one exception: it is allowed to contain "//"-style comments.

So I am pretty sure added a comment for it is OK.

Is there any way to make the editor recognize the comments of manifest.json?

Answer 1

You can use the way as below,

{
  "//1": "comment 1",
  "//2": "comment 2",
  "id": "123"
}

But I think the best way is to change the Recognized File Types to the json5
