Problem

We've seen that JSON5 is a much improved and friendlier version of JSON. We use it in several places like our Talkback tapes and the en.json5 translation file.

Description

pnpm supports using package.json5 as the package manifest. Using it might help us document the many many scripts we have and their pre-scripts. I often get confused because we have too many i18n anmd test scripts.

Alternatives

pnpm also supports YAML but it's got a bad reputation (I personally like it a lot). It's still popular than JSON5 and wider adoption (see syntax highlighting difference in screenshots) but it's more of a change which might turn off some people.
