@themikejr has suggested this, as has @jonathanrobie previously.

In favor of TOML:

this is an easy way to allow extensibility. We already have more than a dozen possible attributes to capture, and more are certainly coming.
It cleanly separates the two kinds of data that are quite different in purpose and structure.
TOML allows comments.
TOML has seen increased use in some quarters for configuration data.

In favor of JSON:

All the data would be in a single file.
Only one format of data to read, and arguably one of the most common.
