[Catalyst] JSON instead of YAML?

[Zbigniew Lukasiak]

1. JSON is very close to being a subset of YAML:

http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/yamlIsJson.html

2. I've heard YAML have problems with whitespace.  This is always a
hot topic, personally I even agree that Python is more readable than
Perl, but everyone would admit that there are problems with
copy-pasting and generally transporting code with significant white
space.
