    Generate a filesystem tree from a macro or a YAML tree

  • toml

    Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language

    TOML is another option but it gets a bit confusing if you need to nest lots of objects which you would in this case. It's much better for shallow structures like in configuration files.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • json5

    JSON5 — JSON for Humans

    I wouldn't recommend using standard JSON by the way because it doesn't support comments (bit of a deal breaker usually). I would suggest JSONC which supports comments and trailing commas, or JSON5 which is a bit more widely supported.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
