I sometimes use Visual Studio Code to edit JSON files that include comments. VS Code displays an error saying, "Comments are not permitted in JSON." It would be nice to disable that error message (without having to remove the comments.)

Follow these steps:

  1. Click on the letters JSON in the bottom right corner. (A drop-down will appear to "Select the Language Mode.")
  2. Select "Configure File Association for '.json'..."

  1. Type jsonc and press Enter.

If you only want to disable the error message for a single file, skip step #2.
