insomnia-plugin-json-comments-fadlan

Insomnia plugin that allows you to write JSON with comments (// and /* */) in request bodies.

Comments are automatically stripped before the request is sent to the server. Also supports trailing commas.

Example

{
  "page": 1, // current page
  "page_size": 10, /* page size */
  "sort_by": "lastModifiedDate",
  "sort_order": "DESC",
  "filters": {
    "status": "active" // status filter
  }
}

Installation

Via Insomnia Plugin Hub

1. Open Insomnia → Preferences (Ctrl+,)
2. Go to Plugins tab
3. Search for json-comments-fadlan
4. Click Install

Via npm

npm install -g insomnia-plugin-json-comments-fadlan

Manual

Copy the folder to the Insomnia plugins directory:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Insomnia\plugins\
• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Insomnia/plugins/
• Linux: ~/.config/Insomnia/plugins/

Features

• Auto-strip comments — // and /* */ comments are removed before sending
• Trailing comma support — trailing commas after last item are fixed

How It Works

The plugin uses requestHooks that run before each request is sent. All // inline comments and /* */ block comments are removed from the JSON body, along with any trailing commas.
