Re:JSON as configuration files: please don’t (2016) by joezydeco on Saturday April 13, 2019 @06:02PM (#19656020)
Why does it suck harder? I’ll give one example: arrays.

In JSON they’re plain and simple. You even get to use good ‘ol [ ] delimiters.

In XML? It’s a sea of open and close tags.

Now do an array of arrays. Then hand-edit it.

Like I said, it’s no better. But it’s way easier to read.
