  Description     : JSON for the ES5 era.

 JSON is an excellent data format, but we think it can be better.
 .
 JSON5 is a proposed extension to JSON that aims to make it easier for humans
 to write and maintain by hand. It does this by adding some minimal syntax
 features directly from ECMAScript 5.
 .
 JSON5 remains a strict subset of JavaScript, adds no new data types, and works
 with all existing JSON content.
 .
 JSON5 is not an official successor to JSON, and JSON5 content may not work
 with existing JSON parsers. For this reason, JSON5 files use a new .json5
 extension.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
