How to append comments next to each line in a json string?

Question

I want to create a markdown file which includes a js object. I want to add commentaries which are stored in an other object to each line.

The output should look like this:

{
  "a": "test,  //commentary1
  "b": "test2" //commentary2
}

My first intention was to rewrite the stringify function, but it's a bit tricky for edge cases.

How can I achieve this functionality in more better way?

So do I understand correctly that you want to serialize an object while adding comments to each/some of the lines? — John Smith, Jun 08 '21 at 11:00

You can opt for 2 options

Add comment as keys like

{ "_comment": "comment text goes here..." }
Instead of json object use json array and parse accordingly

{ "a": ["test", "commentary1"], "b": ["test2", "commentary2"] }
