eslint: "Unexpected token :" for JSON-LD (ld+json).

If I place a JSON-LD script element in an HTML file, ESLint throws an error of “Unexpected token :”.

Google doc: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data

    <script type="application/ld+json">
        {
            "@context": "http://schema.org",
            "@type": "Organization",
            "url": "http://www.example.com",
            "name": "Unlimited Ball Bearings Corp.",
            "contactPoint": {
                "@type": "ContactPoint",
                "telephone": "+1-401-555-1212",
                "contactType": "Customer service"
            }
        }
    </script>

Disabling ESLint in Sublime Text menubar’s “Toggle” command removes the error.

Adding /* eslint-disable unexpected-token */ doesn’t remove the error.

Should this be reported here or at SublimeLinter-eslint?

Can this be prevented, please?
