No, comments of the form //… or /*…*/ are not allowed in JSON. This answer is based on:

  • https://www.json.org
  • RFC 4627: The application/json Media Type for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
  • RFC 8259 The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format (supercedes RFCs 4627, 7158, 7159)
