The Norway Problem
If you want automatic built-in string validation, one option that seems particularly interesting is to use a variant of Lua patterns, which are weaker and easier to understand than regular expressions, but still provide a significant degree of "sanity" for something like an email. The original version works on bytes and not runes, but you could simply write a parser that works on runes instead, and the pattern-matching code is just 400 old and battle-tested lines of C89.
Lua patterns have also shown up in other places, such as BSD's httpd, and an implementation for Rust:

The Norway Problem
Still early, but here's my baby I hope can improve things:
website with grammar spec: https://tree-annotation.org/
prototype of a JSON/YAML alternative for JS: https://github.com/tree-annotation/tao-data-js
same thing, even less finished for C#: https://github.com/tree-annotation/tao-data-csharp
working on it constantly, more to come soon
What are some alternatives?
jsonnet - Jsonnet - The data templating language
cue - CUE has moved to https://github.com/cue-lang/cue
dhall-lang - Maintainable configuration files
tao-data-csharp - C# TAO data library
edn - Extensible Data Notation
cue - The home of the CUE language! Validate and define text-based and dynamic configuration
yamllint - A linter for YAML files.
awesome-json-next - A Collection of What's Next for Awesome JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) for Structured (Meta) Data in Text - JSON5, HJSON, HanSON, TJSON, SON, CSON, USON, JSONX/JSON11 & Many More
strictyaml - Type-safe YAML parser and validator.
kubernetes - Production-Grade Container Scheduling and Management
cson - CoffeeScript-Object-Notation. Same as JSON but for CoffeeScript objects.
