- golergka 3y agoIf you are using any kind of type checking instead of blindly trusting generated json it's exactly the same amount of work.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoIt really shouldn't be, though. I.e. not unless you're parsing or emitting it ad-hoc, for example by assuming that an expression like: "{" + $someKey + ":" + $someValue + "}" produces a valid JSON. It does - sometimes - and then it's indeed easier to work with. It'll also blow up in your face. Using JSON the right way - via a proper parser and serializer - should be identical to using YAML or any other equivalent format.
- riwsky 3y agoEven if the APIs for both were equally simple, modules for manipulating json are way more likely to be available in the stdlib of whatever language you’re using.
