CUE is a superset of JSON.
It adds the following conveniences:

- C-style comments,
- quotes may be omitted from field names without special characters,
- commas at the end of fields are optional,
- comma after last element in list is allowed,
- outer curly braces are optional.

<!--

CUE borrows a trick from Go to make commas optional:
the formal grammar still requires commas,
but the scanner inserts commas according to a small set
of simple rules.

JSON objects are called structs in CUE.
An object member is called a field.
