Using comments in JSON

• If you would like to use comments in your template files, you can use the jsonc ("JSON with comments") language mode. Add the following to your user settings in VS code:

    "files.associations": {
        // Use the following to allow comments inside .jsonc
        // (This will not be necessary after VS Code ships the fix for https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/48969)
        "*.jsonc": "jsonc"

        // Use the following to also allow comments inside .json file
        // "*.json": "jsonc"
    }
