I am using IntelliJ IDEA 14 for a web project, where I want to keep a file a.js containing a JSON object. The content of the a.js is
{
"ac" : "abc",
"d" : 4,
"_constants": {}
}
While editing this file, IntelliJ keeps reminding me that this file has syntactic errors. It makes a hints after "ac", "d" and "_constants", before the semicolon, saying "Expecting newline or semicolon".
Does not IntelliJ IDEA accept a file containing a JSON object as a legitimate javascript file?

Reset to default 5IntelliJ has a separate file type for JSON files. It will be applied if you rename your file from a.js to a.json.
You can add file pattern to your settings
Settings->Editor->File Types->Json
For example "json-config-*.js"
