Nostalgia uses this approach for game saves, creature definitions, world layout, and a good deal more. Representing this data in JSON allows for easy debugging, as it is a human readable data serialization format, however that convenience comes at a cost to performance and size. This cost is negligible on modern PCs, but it is completely unsuitable for such limited hardware as the GBA. ...
