How do I add comments to package.json for npm install?

_x000D_ This has recently been discussed in the node.js mailing list. According to Isaac Schlueter who created npm: ... the "//" key will never be used by npm for any purpose, and is reserved for comments ... If you want to use a multiple line comment, you can use either an array, or multiple "//" keys. When using your usual tools (npm, yarn, etc) multiple "//" keys will be removed. This survives: { "//": [ "first line", "second line" ] } This will not survive: { "//": "this is the first line of a comment", "//": "this is the second line of the comment" }
