Example code from the web:
{
// comments
unquoted: 'and you can quote me on that',
singleQuotes: 'I can use "double quotes" here',
lineBreaks: "Look, Mom! \
No \\n's!",
hexadecimal: 0xdecaf,
leadingDecimalPoint: .8675309, andTrailing: 8675309.,
positiveSign: +1,
trailingComma: 'in objects', andIn: ['arrays',],
"backwardsCompatible": "with JSON",
}
Example code from Linguist:
/*
* The following is a contrived example, but it illustrates most of the features:
*/
{
foo: 'bar',
while: true,
this: 'is a \
multi-line string',
// this is an inline comment
here: 'is another', // inline comment
/* this is a block comment
that continues on another line */
hex: 0xDEADbeef,
half: .5,
delta: +10,
to: Infinity, // and beyond!
finally: 'a trailing comma',
oh: [
"we shouldn't forget",
'arrays can have',
'trailing commas too',
],
