Swarming let's you specify the parameters to swarm over. There are
different Permute* objects that handle different types of values (scalar,
bool, category, or even entire fields which may be excluded if not helpful).

The json experiment format is an abstraction on top that isn't as powerful
but if you find it easier to use then certainly go ahead. Although I would
guess that longer term we would be investing more effort into making
swarming easier to use rather than spend more time on the json format that
was designed for a specific use case internally.
