I would say it's far easier to parse than json.

Why did XML and JSON become popular instead of s-expressions, which is perfect for data formatting?
Cameron Sanders
it's easier to look at, not easier to parse. Look at all that text bloat.

That json whitespacing really triggers my jimmies

XML is a markup language.
JSON is a shit. But people love shit if it works and they don'y have to come up with something better.

You have to at least justify this annoying syntax with a reason

How would you unambiguously express a mapping data structure as a S-expression?
That is, if you encode and then decode a mapping data structure you always get a mapping data structure out, and if you encode and then decode a sequence you always get a sequence out.
A mapping data structure would be something like Python's dictionaries, and a sequence would be something like Python's lists.
