JSON by a mile. I hate the YAML plague, it’s some of the most unintuitive syntax I’ve seen and yet it’s everywhere in DevOps/SysOps.

YAML works better with git than JSON, but so much config work is copy and pasting and YAML is horrible at that.

Having something where changing one line doesn't turn into changing three lines, but you could also copy it off a website would be great.
