JSON doesn't handle binary welll, it's a text format. Usually, base64 is
used for binary data inside JSON - which is neither human readable nor
space efficient.

That's nonsense, according to http://stackoverflow.com/a/1443240, the
JSON spec supports only 94 Unicode characters that can be represented as
one byte (in UTF-8).
Nor is there any canonical *and* human readable variant.
If human readable, I'd currently prefer to try something canonical
that's still valid YAML.
