* Explain JSON5 better. Proactively emphasize that this is for config file type use cases, not machine-to-machine communication (the #1 misunderstanding or objection to JSON5). * Market/sell it better. The stats and company/project names are exciting! =) * Link to blog post. This doesn't need to be front-and-center though; just added it to my name in the credits. * Emphasize ES5 compatibility. Just put a stake in the ground here and preempt feature requests we'll never accept.

WDYT @jordanbtucker? I'll go ahead merge this since it's harmless and easy to iterate on post-merge too, but feedback welcome! |

@aseemk Thank you for this, and sorry for taking so long to respond. Marketing is not my strong suit, so I appreciate the excellent updates to the README. My only critique is that JSON5 is technically not a strict subset of ES5 in the same way that JSON is not a strict subset of ES5—JSON5 and JSON allow U+2028 and U+2029 characters in strings while ES5 does not. |
