WTH - Just...WTH Attributes!

it is 100% true.

states are always strings. always.

attributes are always whatever they happen to look like.

You obviously didn’t understand my answer. Attributes don’t guarantee a correct datatype always. it depends on a developer and limitations of json itself

Maybe I should have phrased it differently

Sorry. Maybe so.

It may not be complicated to you. To my mom, that is extremely complicated. Figuring out syntax peculiarities like case-sensitivty, differences between single and double quotes, etc is not easy for most of the human population. Heck, I’m pretty used to writing code and even I get frustrated sometimes by YAML.
