TOML, extensions of json like json5 and hjson, a bunch of lesser known formats for nested structures like NestedText, UCL, kdl, Eno,sdlang, eldf, etc.

Also languages with some progrommatic capabilities like cue, dhall, jsonnet, nickel etc.

Non of them are perfect, and some are less suitable for certain use cases than others. But IMO pretty much all of them are better for human editing than json, and in many cases yaml.
