delphi - Is there a way to escape a closing bracket for comments? -

i'm adding comments delphi code documentation. 1 of things i'm trying document json structure, i'm trying put sample json data commented in code. however, json uses squiggly brackets { }, coincidentally used comments in delphi.

because of this, can't figure out way add these comments. documentation comment blocks use { }, example:

{   unit , that.    use tsomecomponent bla bla } 

when try document json data, closing bracket } ends comment - if line prefixed single-line comment //, doesn't work:

{   how json structure looks:  //    { //      "some_string": "value", //      "some_object": { //        "something": 123 //      }, //<-- compiler detects comma //      "something_else": "some other string" //    } } 

as there's closing bracket }, commented line becomes uncommented, if it's prefixed 2 slashes. delphi picks comma after bracket. in end, cannot figure out way in can document json samples inside code.

i tried using (* *) around json block still no luck.

is there way around or stuck it?

i discovered solution while typing question, i'm answering q/a style...

when comment block first starts in code in question above, starts opening bracket {. so, compiler desperately looking find closing bracket, if closing bracket in commented line of code. but, if every line in comment block begins 2 slashes // instead of opening bracket {, compiler not looking closing bracket }. so, instead of code in question above, how should written:

//  how json structure looks: //   //    { //      "some_string": "value", //      "some_object": { //        "something": 123 //      }, //      "something_else": "some other string" //    } 

so long don't start comment block opening bracket, compiler won't try end comment block when finds closing bracket.

also, using (* *) should work fine, long don't use after you've used {. enclose entire block (* , *) , compiler ignore { or } inside, so:

(*   how json structure looks:      {       "some_string": "value",       "some_object": {         "something": 123       },       "something_else": "some other string"     } *) 

essentially, moment begin 1 comment, whether //, {, or (*, ignore further opening of other type of comment - looking end of own comment type. // end of line, { }, , (* *).
