• path expression sustitutions, a way of referring to other parts of the json/dictionary tree
• include directive
• new line and inline comments

pip install -U jcson

A simple example

Sample config file simple.jcson:

{
    "foo" : {
        "bar": "some value"
    },

    "bar_value": "${foo.bar}",

    "concatenated": "${foo.bar} used later"

import json
import jcson

        "bar": "some value"
    },

    "bar_value": "some value",

    "concatenated": "some value used later"
}
