Re:Why do so many tools have JSON config files? by dd8601fn on Wednesday September 02, 2026 @03:03PM (#49540842)
It’s just one person’s opinion, but I think two things are true enough, here…

1) JSON is pretty darn good for storing configuration. Everything speaks it, and a pretty printed one is very readable/tweakable in a pinch.

2) If you insist that someone manually edit a significant amount of it, you kinda fucked up.

Just my opinion, but it feels like two separate things.
