Why is it so strict? I am trying to write an ide backend would like to use the compilation commands file to contain some extra information so that i don't have to keep multiple files. the following code in parse message doesn't allow me to keep any other key but directory, command and file.

<div> return false;</div><div> }</div></div><div><br></div><div>Could this be removed?</div></blockquote><div> </div>In my experience being strict is better in the long run. It allows us to extend the format without the need to worry about clashing names with other mixed formats, and it surfaces errors early instead of hiding them.<div>
