postman hack: adding comments to json (and how to handle them)

while json (javascript object notation) is a widely used data-interchange format, it intentionally lacks support for comments. the rationale is that comments are typically for developers and should be removed before the data is transmitted or processed by machines. however, there are legitimate reasons why you might want to add comments to json, especially within the postman environment:

*documentation and clarification:* adding comments can significantly improve the readability and understandability of complex json structures, particularly when sharing them with other team members or when returning to your own work later. you can use comments to explain the purpose of specific fields, data formats, or even complex logic encoded within the json.
*development and testing:* comments can be useful during development and testing for temporarily disabling parts of a json structure or for adding notes about test cases and expected behavior.
*postman specific use cases:* you might want to add comments to describe variables or the intention of certain parts of your postman requests/responses.

*the challenge:* directly adding comments (e.g., `//` or `/* ... */`) to a standard json file will cause parsing errors in most applications, including postman. therefore, we need a workaround to achieve the desired effect. this tutorial explores different approaches and provides practical examples.

*methods for adding comments to json in postman (and dealing with the consequences)*

we'll cover the following approaches:

1. *pseudo-comments using custom fields (recommended):* this is the most robust and recommended method for adding human-readable documentation within a json structure that postman can handle.
2. *string concatenation with `pm.environment.set()` (postman-specific):* useful for within the postman ui for requests and responses.
3. **pre-processing with regular expressions (less ...
