I would say that JSON is hard to edit because, among other things, it has no comment syntax. It's quite difficult to maintain a hand-edited JSON file, or figure out what to edit into it, if it can't have any comments in it describing what it's doing. JSON is a serialization format for machine to machine communication, not intended for hand editing. Simply adding a comment syntax to JSON would go a long way towards making it easier to edit. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
