title: How to parse json file with c-style comments?
body: <p>I have a json file, such as the following:</p>
  <pre class="lang-json prettyprint-override"><code>    { 
         &quot;author&quot;:&quot;John&quot;,
         &quot;desc&quot;: &quot;If it is important to decode all valid JSON correctly \ 
  and  speed isn't as important, you can use the built-in json module,   \
   orsimplejson.  They are basically the same but sometimes simplej \
  further along than the version of it that is included with \
  distribution.&quot;
         //&quot;birthday&quot;: &quot;nothing&quot; //I comment this line
      }
  </code></pre>
  <p>This file is auto created by another program. How do I parse it with Python?</p>
