I really wish JSON allowed for final trailing commas in arrays/objects.

It would make for more readable diffs, simpler text templating, easier writing/parsing for us humans, etc. I'd happily trade all of TOML, YAML, XML, and every other similar format in existence for that one change.

It makes generating from templates in certain (many!) instances needlessly difficult. I say needlessly, because the rule is seemingly arbitrary. I can't see what purpose it serves.
