People put so much effort into streaming Json parsing whereas we have a format called Yaml which takes up less characters on the wire and happens to work incrementally out of the box meaning that you can reparse the stream as it's coming in without having to actually do any incremental parsing

There are many formats out there. If payload size is a concern, everyone is far better off enabling HTTP response compression instead of onboarding a flavor-of-the-month language.

Yaml makes json appear user friendly by comparison.

Last thing one want in a wire format is white space sensitivity and ambiguous syntax. Besides, if you are really transferring that much json data, there are ways to achieve it that solves the issues

YAML is more complex and harder to parse

If we're talking about niche data protocols, edn is hard to beat. Real dates and timestamps and comments, namespaced symbols, tagged elements, oh my!
