json5
- JSON5 – JSON for Humans
- Why the fuck are we templating YAML? (2019)
-
I pre-released my project "json-responder" written in Rust
JSON5 support
-
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.
- Fx – Terminal JSON Viewer
- What Is Wrong with TOML?
-
🚀 'GET' API in API Maker
JSON 5 support
-
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.

The KDL Document Language
To me it looks amazing, and I was literally about to adopt it in one of my open source Rust-based projects, but then I realized that the Rust version (and only the Rust version) is restrictively licensed under the Parity Public License [1].
I want my open source project to be able to be used in commercial applications, and don't want any of my dependencies' licenses to restrict that.
