+# no dangle
+
+Trailing commas in object literals are valid according to the ECMAScript 5 (and ECMAScript 3!) spec, however IE8 (when not in IE8 document mode) and below will throw an error when it encounters trailing commas in JavaScript.
+
+```js
+var foo = {
+    bar: "baz",
+    qux: "quux",
+};
+```
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule is aimed at detecting trailing commas in object literals. As such, it will warn whenever it encounters a trailing comma in an object literal.
+
+The following are considered warnings:
+
+```js
+var foo = {
+    bar: "baz",
+    qux: "quux",
+};
+
+foo({
+  bar: "baz",
+  qux: "quux",
+});
+```
+
+The following are okay and will not raise warnings:
+
+```js
+var foo = {
+    bar: "baz",
+    qux: "quux"
+};
+
+foo({
+  bar: "baz",
+  qux: "quux"
+});
+```
+
+## When Not To Use It
+
+If your code will not be run in IE8 or below (a NodeJS application, for example) and you'd prefer to allow trailing commas, turn this rule off.
