Even when the original author said it was "discovered"?

JSON5 is closer to "javascript object notation" than JSON itself. It's partly an update and partly a removal of arbitrary restrictions.



Except that JSON is a valid JavaScript object, and JSON5 is not.


Why is it not? My understanding is that it is a valid ES5 and forward object.


Unless there's a direct lie in the description of JSON5 ("subset of ECMAScript"), JSON5 objects are valid JS objects.


Can you provide an example?
