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

The Norway Problem
I prefer JSON over YAML because I spend more time confused and burned by the problems caused by it.
I understand that people don't like directly use JSON because it's not very friendly: no comments, no multi-line string, etc.
A great alternative IMHO is cson[0]. It's like JSON to JavaScript but for CoffeeScript (though nobody talks about it nowadays). It has indentation-based syntax, comments, and multiline string which usually don't need to escape. The advantage is it's close enough to JSON which is the canonical format that everybody can agree on nowadays. For YAML and TOML there are too many visual part-aways from JSON.
Or just create a JSON variant that enables comments and the backtick multiline string from JavaScript.
