JSON5 is a more reasonable format for config files, in my opinion.

  I prefer YAML on my Markdown front matter. It's more readable because of no brackets, quotes, or commas.

    Seconding the sibling, YAML may look nice but it's absolutely full of awful confusing behavior. If you don't like JSON for human-written stuff, see TOML or the like. I think JSON is great for serialization, it's so simple, but I agree we need something more readable like TOML for human-written data. https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-fr...

      Do you convert your Markdown front matter to TOML? Also for your clients?
