I honestly think that JSON and YAML should be swapped due to YAML's strict indentation rules whereas you can just pack an entire JSON object on one line.
Also JSON has no comments. Which is great for me because I hate documenting my work, but it's still annoying.
I think yaml’s need for indentation alone makes it chaotic evil. I’ve seen so many people struggle with the indentation than they really need to it’s not fun. Especially problematic with large configuration files.
JSON is easy to unpack with tools like jq or whatever.
Oh this is a good point - the syntax error on line one has ruined several productive days.
Of course the tool would happily prettify it for me, but it has to be valid json. Which I think would make it more enjoyable if it said in that message "Good luck, we're counting on you."
