I love JSON5. It’s an extension of JSON that adds extra syntax from JavaScript,
like single quotes, trailing commas, and unquoted alphanumeric keys. I find it
much more readable and much easier to write. A key benefit is that, by using
single quotes, you can embed JSON5 in a C/C++/Swift/etc. string literal without
having to escape all those pesky double-quotes:
const char *json = "{\"foo\": \"bar\"}";
const char *json5 = "{foo: 'bar'}";
FYI, I wrote a converter in C++ that translates JSON5 to JSON. I use it a lot
in unit tests in my code. It's also useful when parsing configuration files
that are likely to be human-written or -edited.
