JSON is awful for writing manually because it requires typing too many quotes, commas etc. I think JSON is meant to be machine-generated and machine-read and therefore doesn't need any comments.
- leptons 2y agoYou're a programmer and you're against writing quotes and commas? You must really hate coding. I've never found JSON to be too much typing.
- xnorswap 2y agoIf you're entirely machine writing and reading, but still want to be human-legible, then XML does a much better job while also allowing for schema.
