Raí, you're absolutely right!

I'll start answering your last question: "Or have you thought about another data structure to use as a base?"

Yes, Meta-System uses another data structure, which I would love to show it to you, if you're willing so. Come say Hi at the discord link provided above :)

Now for the "why the extra step?". Well, one thing about data, is that we can more easily interact with it. Writing the JSON directly is hard? Well, we can then just have a drag and drop GUI for writing it for us. In the end, we're [sort of] writing code, but with a giant leap on accessibility.
