On the other hand, I hate that with JSON you can only store one document per file.

Some programs allow you to omit the outside braces, others require it.

But I do hate toml, and I don’t much like yaml either (why are there like 8 whitespace permutations?!)

What's wrong with TOML? I personally think it's great for configuration purposes.

One thing you can run into is that nesting things is hard in TOML: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48998034/does-toml-support-nested-arrays-of-objects-tables

The syntax is simply not built for that, because .ini format.
