Description

The LAX parser throws a groovy.json.JsonException when you put a comment after the last array element but before the closing ']'

Example:

import groovy.json.JsonParserType
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

def sampleJson = '''
[
    // good comment
    {
        "mykey" : "myvalue"
    }
    // bad comment
]
'''
def json = new JsonSlurper(type: JsonParserType.LAX).parseText(sampleJson)
println "This should work"

Expected is that this comment should also be ignored
