[OC] No comments
By the way.. if you use the hjson parser you can add comments to json files :) https://hjson.github.io/
- YAML vs. JSON
-
In a symfony interview I got asked "but why json? XML is better"
I wish this took off https://hjson.github.io. I like it much more than yaml.
-
policy generator?
I don't know anything about VueJS either but HJSON is pretty cool in that regard https://hjson.github.io/
-
Keeping documentation in sync with source code
> Another difficult problem was checking for correct indentation visually (because the configuration is YAML-based and indentation matters).
why yaml? I hate it so much! my eyes hurt looking at it?
why not using https://hjson.github.io/ ?
-
JSON5 Data Interchange Format
HJSON [0] is also another format that tries to make it easier for humans to read / write json.
-
YAML and Configuration Files
well there are json alternatives which fit this bill, such as HJSON.
might not be as "common" but it has good implementations for many languages.
-
zdpack - A tool for merging and converting Minecraft data and resource packs.
zdpack also pre-processes datapacks, allowing json files to be written in hjson or yaml, in addition to allowing a special extensible super-set of MCFunction I call CommandScript. You can check the github page for a quick overview of CommandScript.

topoconfig: enhancing config declarations with graphs
Meanwhile, formats have been evolving (JSON5, YAML), config entry points are constantly changing. These fluctuations, fortunately, were covered by tools like the cosmiconfig.
-
That's a Lot of YAML
I think JSON5 is fairly close to this: https://json5.org
I reckon the only thing it's missing to be truly accessible to non-techies is that string values still need to be quoted, i.e. you can't have:
key: this is my value
(I'm definitely not saying it would be a good idea to allow quotes to be dropped, just that that's the only potential stumbling block I see for non-techies.)
-
XML is better than YAML
I believe that's JSON5.
https://github.com/json5/json5
It's my preferred configuration file format, it fixes all the problems I have with JSON (trailing commas, comments) without turning it into a mess full of gotchas like YAML.

TySON: a native go library that lets you use TypeScript as an embedded configuration language without depending on Node or V8
I would like to see mention of JSON5 which is 11 years its elder. For comments in JSON, JSON5 is a good starting point.
