   For this library, we do not plan to support any input which is not compliant to RFC 7159.

   That's fine! I think I'll just write a spirit parser to match and strip // inline comments (which is what I just need) in a pre-processing step tomorrow. Do you think that trying to extend the json parser of this library would be easier? Or do you happen know/use a library to minify json-like data to json?

   You could edit file src/json.hpp.re2c. It contains a re2c lexer (see function basic_json::lexer::scan) and all you would need to do is to add a regex for comments like "//"[^\n]* or so.
