My only quip is both are basically unreadable in most use cases. Most programs worth anything that use these formats usually strip out all the extra spaces and formatting. You usually have to take an extra step to 'reformat' just so you can read it. And anyone who has had an open paren or carrot or missing could show how painful manually parsing a 400+ field one of these is. Trying to say one is better than the other ignores the use cases for both. One being good at slugging data into javascript/python. The other being good at light typing, annotation and transform.
