What is a use case for this? Is indentation not more or less ideal for visualizing hierarchical data?



It's great for showing to management, who tends to like things presented in org chart format.


Maybe if one is representing something like a schema where JSON properties can be references to other entities in your JSON file?


Not if you use 2 spaces for indent ;)
