How to note data source in a data JSON file?-CodePudding

I have a few data JSON files similar to this and I want to include a line to note the sources as simple as //source: Cambodia Department of Injustice but JSON files should contain only data.

Should should it be done?

CodePudding user response：

If you can change the data structure slightly, you could add a level for metadata:

{
    "metadata": {
        "source": "Cambodia Department of Justice",
        "source-date": "2015-12-15",
        "note": "Ha ha made you look"
    },
    "countries": {
        "USA": { some data }
        "Canada": { Some data }
    }
}

This is cleaner than use a fake "non-data" country.
