Description

I'm trying to modify the preferences for Beautify plugin. The defaultPreferences.json file contains comments:

// Beautifier-Language-Mapping, see https://github.com/brackets-beautify/brackets-beautify#configure-languages
    "bb.beautify.languages": {
        // Default: css
        "css": "css",

        // Default: html
        "ejs": "html",
...

When copy pasting the content of "bb.beautify.languages" into brackets.json in order to modify it, I get

This error is resolved when stripping the // comments from the json.

The default file and running file should either both not support comments, or preferably should both support comments.

Using http://hjson.org/ instead of plain JSON would be one option.
