Research direction

Start by tracing how Spotless configures its Jackson formatter and where JsonParser.Feature options are applied. Reproduce the failure with a JSON file containing comments, then verify that enabling ALLOW_COMMENTS allows formatting to complete.

I have some json files containing comments.
It is currently impossible to format them using spotless and jackson.

Formatting is failing mentioning that
JsonParser.Feature.ALLOW_COMMENTS should be enabled.

There is currently no way to configure this in spotless
