Someone's handed me nested base-64 encoded JSON before and to this day I am moderately annoyed at them.

unity kinda does this ! there is a json file wirh a base-64 encoded string (UTF-16 encoding) and is a completely different data structure with embedded json

I just had to add URL-encoded TOML to something due to a certain Rust crate's constraints.
