I’m a fan of JSON5. A common criticism is “we’ve already got YAML for human readable config with comments,” but IMO YAML’s readability sucks, it’s too hard to tell what’s an object and what’s an array at a glance (at least, with the way it’s often written).
When dealing with large YAML files, I find myself frequently popping them into online “YAML to JSON” tools to actually figure out WTF is going on. JSON5 is much easier to read, at least for me.
