"Consume YAML, emit JSON". I've been using this pattern for the last several years on most projects, ever since someone else on the internet recommended it. Since YAML is a superset of JSON, people can input either JSON or YAML (or mostly just JSON with JS style comments, like I do most of the time) and have simple JSON output.
