Genie Wants Valid JSON

I will grant you three wishes I WANT JSON TO ACCEPT A TRAILING COMMA Yeah, what the hell is up with that anyway? Good wish bro, you still have three wishes.

A cartoon genie offers a person three wishes, but the person wishes for JSON to accept a trailing comma. Since trailing commas are invalid in standard JSON, the genie treats the wish as unsuccessful and leaves the person with all three wishes. The meme is used by programmers to joke about strict JSON syntax and frustrating parser errors.
