# Introducing support for JSON comments in your request body

To make it even easier for you to test and document your APIs effectively, we are thrilled to announce that Postman now enables you to add JSON [comments](https://learning.postman.com/docs/collaborating-in-postman/working-with-your-team/discussing-your-work/) in the HTTP request body.

JSON comments are annotations or notes that you can include within your JSON request body to provide additional context or explanations regarding the structure or purpose of the data being sent. Postman intelligently skips these comments while sending the request—and you can get really creative with how you leverage this feature to better document your API and workflows.

## Improved documentation

JSON comments make your request body more verbose and understandable. You can use comments to provide explanations, examples, or guidelines for the expected values or formats of the request body. This can greatly help your team members or external consumers of your API to understand the purpose and structure of the request body, making it easier for them to integrate with your API.

JSON comments can also be utilized to add comments and notes to your test cases in Postman. For instance, you can add comments to explain the expected results, highlight edge cases, or provide additional context for the test scenarios. This can be immensely helpful for your team members to understand the intent of the test cases and ensure that the API is functioning as expected.

We hope that support for JSON comments in Postman will further enhance your testing and documenting experience. Try it out for yourself and let us know what you think.
