TOML and YAML both have the problem that if you receive an incomplete document, there's a decent chance you can't tell. JSON doesn't have that because of the closing curly.

That's not a problem of a format and should be handled by transport or storage.

What about processes that terminate before writing the whole thing? You can't protect against everything. Blame other processes all you want but the language spec allows for confusion.

You just check the exit code, no? The other process may fail while generating syntactically correct data too, regardless of format.
