Why convert NUMBERS to JSON

NUMBERS vs JSON — Strengths and limitations
What each format does best, and where it falls short.
NUMBERS Strengths
- Beautiful layout — charts and tables float as design elements.
- Free on every Mac, iPad, iPhone, and iCloud.
- iCloud sync and collaborative editing.
- Apple Pencil handwriting input on iPad.
- Cleaner for simple budgets, trackers, and presentations than Excel.
Limitations
- Apple-only — Windows and Linux cannot open Numbers files natively.
- Opaque IWA binary format — no third-party inspection.
- XLSX round-trips often lose Numbers-specific layout tricks.
JSON Strengths
- Dead-simple — you can memorize the entire grammar on one page.
- Native parsers in every programming language.
- Human-readable and easy to debug.
- Compact — much smaller than equivalent XML.
- Frozen spec — a JSON parser written in 2010 still handles new JSON files from 2026.
Limitations
- No comments allowed — config files feel verbose.
- No trailing commas — a constant source of parse errors.
- No native date, decimal, or binary types — everything is strings or numbers.
