Tom, have you heard of EDN and Transit? Like JSON, but:
1. Extensible, custom types
2. Streamy, efficient, compressed and fast, leverages platform's existing native/optimized JSON parsers
3. Wide platform reach
4. Made by Rich Hickey

- mojombo 8y agoI have not, and while it looks cool, it seems to be optimized for data transfer between applications, not a human readable config format.
- KingMob 8y agoTransit is more about data transfer, but EDN is mostly meant to be a better JSON (useful date types, doesn't care about commas, has comments, etc)
- svacko 8y agoThere is also a similar project - Hjson, a user interface for JSON- https://hjson.org/ https://hjson.org/
- epage 8y agoFor me, hjson takes on some of the warts of yaml (bare strings) which is why I prefer json5 if I'm going for a json variant.
