+# Trailing Commas
+
+Like [comments](comments.md), this library does not support trailing commas in arrays and objects *by default*.
+
+You can set parameter `ignore_trailing_commas` to `#!cpp true` in the [`parse`](../api/basic_json/parse.md) function to allow trailing commas in arrays and objects. Note that a single comma as the only content of the array or object (`[,]` or `{,}`) is not allowed, and multiple trailing commas (`[1,,]`) are not allowed either.

+This library does not add trailing commas when serializing JSON data.

+For more information, see [JSON With Commas and Comments (JWCC)](https://nigeltao.github.io/blog/2021/json-with-commas-comments.html).
