Using generator expressions to directly create tuples is a not so good idea performance-wise. Use it only if you have memory issues because it is not very performant. Using tuple([list comprenension]) is at most twice as fast.

{"__comment1": "Comment 1",
 "key1": "the value",
 "key2": 2,
 "key3": 5.7,
 "key4": true,
 "key5": false,
 "key6": 255,
 "__comment2": "Comment no 2",
 "key7": "Umlaute: ÄÖÜäöüß"
}
