Dude, I feel you! When I started, I wasted hours trying to force nested data into CSV. Big mistake.
JSON vs CSV really depends on your use case. APIs? JSON, no question. Data analysis? CSV if it's flat, JSON if it's complex.
Pro tip: Use `csvkit` for CSV and `json.tool` in Python to pretty-print JSON. Makes life easier.
Also, JSON isn't *always* heavier—if your CSV has tons of empty cells, JSON might actually be smaller. Weird, right?
