But YAML _looks_ like it’s easy to write by hand.

It looks easier than JSON to write by hand. JSON at least makes it known that you’ll have a better time generating it, that writing it.

It’s like those doors that open by pushing them. Some open both ways, some have a handle to grab and open it to you, some have a plate for you to push on.

And some (like YAML) have a plate on the side you need to pull, and a handle on the side you need to push.
