[RFC] Add API for parsing JSONC

[DonIsaac]

What is the problem this feature would solve?

We've improved several APIs to handle JSONC out of the box.

• package.json files may have comments and trailing commas
• console.log({ ... }) prints trailing commas

These are good user experiences, but dynamically reading data formatted this way is currently difficult (e.g. using Glob to walk a directory and read all package.json files). JSON.parse does not support it in order to maintain spec compliance, so users need to install a third-party library.

What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?

Add an API to parse JSONC natively.

I'm currently thinking something like Bun.json.parse(obj), but would love input on API design.
Ideally the API would

• look and act in a familiar way to JSON.parse, but with non spec-compliant niceties for better DX
• Be namespaced so we can add more stuff in the future
