[Kea-users] free text parameter under each subnet

[James Sumners]

That’s definitely a strong argument for a strict parser. Maybe adding support for a “comment” property would be a good compromise. The property could be any valued (i.e. string, object, array, whatever).

With such a property allowed it would be possible to write completely valid JSON such that editors and can work with it.

=> not unfortunately: it is by design and I am sure you'd like the
parser to catch a trivial spelling error than to silently ignore it.

PS: as you expect to add a new subnet property you need to patch the
parser. Note in pools you have the user-context property which can be used
for the same goal and can be extended (i.e., post a request) to subnets
or other syntax elements (only host reservations will be complex because
of external host databases).
