In reply to Kevin.

I know many people who feel as you do about JSON and SQL formatting; they prefer to see the commas at the start of the line. However, the world of "pretty print" code formatters that are built into IDEs or on web sites -- they don't seem to agree. You can read the back-and-forth saga in this VS Code issue topic. I like to use the code formatters in VS Code (or SAS Studio or SAS Enterprise Guide), even if it means a bit of a compromise on the styling. It's just too convenient.
