Why does Vim highlight all my JSON comments in red?

I've got some comments in a JSON file that were autogenerated by, and unfortunately it seems like vim can't recognize that they're just comments.

enter image description here

They're all red - which one of my plugins is doing this?

I don't really want to turn all of my syntax highlighting off, and I also don't want to clear the errors manually each time I run into the red highlighting.

Solution

  • As @Michail mentioned, JSON syntax does not support comments, so Vim marks them as error.
