Quick question: if JSON is too hard to manually edit, how can RSON be any easier when it is a superset of JSON?
Well, Python is essentially a superset of JSON, with string escape handling being ever so slightly different, and using True instead of true, False instead of false, and None instead of null. YMMV, but I find it possible, even probable, to write Python that is far easier to edit than JSON, and in fact, I have used Python for configuration files that are only to be edited by programmers or other technical types.
