Common errors

error AttributeError: module 'jsoncomment' has no attribute 'loads' ↓

cause Importing the module directly instead of the class.

Use: from jsoncomment import JsonComment; parser = JsonComment(); parser.loads(...)

error jsoncomment.JsonComment not found ↓

Warnings

gotcha JsonComment does not strip comments from strings; if a string value contains '//' or '/*', it may be misinterpreted. ↓

fix Ensure comment syntax is not inside string literals.

gotcha The library relies on Python's built-in json module; it does not validate JSON strictly and may accept malformed input. ↓

fix Always validate output if parsing untrusted input.

Imports

JsonComment
wrong
```
import jsoncomment
```
correct
```
from jsoncomment import JsonComment
```
JsonComment is the class; importing the module directly is not wrong but you need the class for usage.

Quickstart

Parse a JSON string with C-style comments.

from jsoncomment import JsonComment

json_str = '''
{
    "name": "test",
    /* comment */
    "value": 42
}
'''
parser = JsonComment()
data = parser.loads(json_str)
print(data)
