Human-readable json would've been a great idea, if it wasn't for the fact that json was NOT MEANT TO BE HUMAN READABLE.

It is meant to be generated by a machine and not created by hand, neither it should be readable by humans, only parse-able by a computer.

Treating your data interchange/serialization/configuration/markup formats as languages that should be human readable/writable is a cardinal sin of any person or company that engages in such practices.
