I like how hackerne.ws deals with this, where it's pretty transparent, i.e. each comment simply has an id, which I would assume the schema would be that each has a parent.

987654
 |_ 987655
   |_ 987656
 |_ 987657

currently our schema is simple

{
  "posts": [
    {
      "text": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
    },
    {
      "text": "Sed egestas, ante et vulputate volutpat, eros pede semper est, vitae luctus metus libero eu augue. Morbi purus libero, faucibus adipiscing, commodo quis, gravida id, est. Sed lectus."
    }
  ]
}

We'll want to instart enhancing this schema with some ids first:

{
  "posts": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "text": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "text": "Sed egestas, ante et vulputate volutpat, eros pede semper est, vitae luctus metus libero eu augue. Morbi purus libero, faucibus adipiscing, commodo quis, gravida id, est. Sed lectus."
    }
  ]
}

then we'll want to have an optional parent:

{
  "posts": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "text": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "text": "Sed egestas, ante et vulputate volutpat, eros pede semper est, vitae luctus metus libero eu augue. Morbi purus libero, faucibus adipiscing, commodo quis, gravida id, est. Sed lectus."
    },
    {
      "id": 3,
      "pid": 2,
      "text": "this is a comment on post 2"
    }
  ]
}

and then get some logic in place to display these comments in our DOM on the index page, and the readPost page.
