I think edn is almost the only more advanced and ergonomic option to json. Edn is like the evolved json, but its interesting that its roots are way older than JSON.

The fact that you can very efficiently define whole applications and software just with edn (and the lisp syntax in general) is what makes really amazing.

I think this blog post sheds more light on how we only need lisp for defining data and applications.

I'm a daily Clojure user, and I knew immediately where that article was going, but it was still a delightful and insightful read! Thanks for sharing!
