                 Key: KAFKA-7750
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7750

I agree that json format is most accepted format among applications to communicate but this json is programme friendly , We needed something user friendly where we can pass comments comments as part of connector configuration.

Features of Hjson :-
 # We are allowed to use comments
 # We are allowed to pass json as part of connector configuration key without escaping it which is very user friendly. (We have modified version of kafka-connect-elasticsearch where user can pass index mapping part of connector properties).

Please find attached connector configuration in Json and Hjson. We are already running this in production. I have introduced HJSON filter on POST and PUT apis of kafka connect
