If you know JSON then why don't you see it as a standard, old grey
bearded man?

And "human readable" generally means it is *text* which can be easily
opened using any kind of text editor and you can see the general
structure there.

If you describe XML as "human readable" as in
<n6k0a5$od7$1@jstuckle.eternal-september.org> then JSON also falls into
this category - since XML can be quite confusing as well.
