I accidentally used YAML.parse instead of JSON.parse, and it worked?

  Many parsers either default to YAML pre-1.2 or do not even expose a YAML 1.2 option. PyYAML has no 1.2 option, for example. So unless Ansible is using something other than PyYAML...

  TOML sucks for list of tables simply because they intentionally crippled inline tables to only be able to occupy one line. For ideology reasons ("we don't need to add a pseudo-JSON").

  JSON5 — JSON for Humans

  

  The simplest solution here would be to use JSON5 (https://json5.org/)

  But sadly, it's also all about the ecosystem. VSCode for example doesn't come with JSON5 support out of the box. GitHub and many other tools / renderers and supports it at least in syntax highlighting.

  I quite like CUELang (https://cuelang.org/), although it not yet widely supported.

  It has a good balance between expressivity and readability, it got enough logic to be useful, but not so much it begs for abuses, it can import/export to yaml and json and features an elegant type system which lets you define both the schema and the data itself.

  I hope it gains traction.

  I'm one of the authors of the YAML specification. https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/

  To date we honestly have not identified a case where where valid JSON is not valid YAML 1.2.

  If anyone can point out a case where this is true, please file an issue here: https://github.com/yaml/yaml-spec/issues/
