Yeah this isn't even human readable even when it's in YAML. What am I going to do? Read the floats and understand that the person looked left?
It's human-readable enough for debugging. You might not be able to read whether a person look left, but you can read which field is null or missing or wildly out of range. You can also read if a value is duplicated when it shouldn't be.
Human-readable is primarily about the structure and less about the data being human readable.
You could also not be an idiot and write a debug script that checks those values or atleast provides an interface
But I guess they don't teach that kind of thing in the javascript and python school of dogshit programming
