>My benchmark for yaml/JSON alternatives is "how would I feel explaining it to a busy, sceptical client?"

My benchmark is this: can an autoformatter do its job every time without breaking something that's technically working right now but possibly formatted wrong?

Every data format that cannot comply with this contains in it a huge waste of time. Even as a python programmer, I extend the same rule to programming languages.
