Can you use a trailing comma in a JSON object?

by

When manually generating a JSON object or array, it’s often easier to leave a trailing comma on the last item in the object or array. For example, code to output from an array of strings might look like (in a C++ like pseudocode):

s.append("[");
for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
    s.appendF("\"%d\",", i);
}
s.append("]");

giving you a string like

[0,1,2,3,4,5,]

Is this allowed?
