I read and work with JSON all the time, logs, responses, code generated from json data. The format suffers from not being readable because of the quotes issue. Especially when what you are putting in there has quotes, the amount of escaping required is ridiculous.

{"time":"2020-07-22T10:59:14.95406-04:00","message":"{\"level\":\"debug\",\"module\":\"system\",\"time\":\"2020-07-22T10:59:14.953909-04:00\",\"message\":\"Running MetricCollector.Flush()\"}"}

this is a very moderate example of what I deal with daily, all because JSON includes quotes around fields.
