+As JSON is an extremely simple data-interchange format, this is most likely going
+to be the simplest Learn X in Y Minutes ever.
+
+JSON in its purest form has no actual comments, but most parsers will accept
+C-style (`//`, `/* */`) comments. For the purposes of this, however,  everything is
+going to be 100% valid JSON. Luckily, it kind of speaks for itself.
