I'm amazed at developers who don't grasp that you don't need to have absolutely everything under the sun in a human readable file format. This is such a textbook case...

Yeah this isn't even human readable even when it's in YAML. What am I going to do? Read the floats and understand that the person looked left?

It's human-readable enough for debugging. You might not be able to read whether a person look left, but you can read which field is null or missing or wildly out of range. You can also read if a value is duplicated when it shouldn't be.

Human-readable is primarily about the structure and less about the data being human readable.
