eslint-plugin-jsonc

This linter has been disabled in this version

eslint-plugin-jsonc uses eslint to lint json, jsonc and json5 (extended JSON with comments & more).

To override default configuration, create a .eslintrc-json.json custom configuration file applicable to your project
If you have .json files with comments in your project, you may disable jsonlint to avoid false positive errors, by adding the following content in your .mega-linter.yml configuration file

DISABLE_LINTERS:
  - JSON_JSONLINT

If you have your own local .eslintrc.json (or .yaml or .js equivalent) config in your project, you must

add JSON_ESLINT_PLUGIN_JSONC_FILE_NAME: .eslintrc.json (or .yaml or .js equivalent) in your .mega-linter.yml config file

add overrides property in it
