TOML is basically INI. It adds nested sections, but it is not so obvious how to use them. And the data model is more complicated, with sections first, and in each section a key-value map.

YAML has a data model like JSON, but it is disqualified for me by the syntax ambiguities.

The easiest thing is if people could just write JS (or Python) object literals, but restricted to plain old data, and without the ability to call functions etc.. JSON5 gives exactly that.
