A human readable ssz format using json.
The format is a subset of JSON and follows most of the conventions closely. The two biggest deviations are appending the integer type at the end of the number using a string and declaring the type array (list / vector) in the first element.
| Type | Representation|
| -- |--|
| null | null
| bool | true | false
| number | "N:{u8|u16|u32|u64|u128|u256}"
| string | "string"
| vector (fixed length) | ["vector", "0:u8", "1:u8"]
| list (variable length) | ["list", "0:u8", "1:u8"]
| object | { "key1": "123u32", "key2": ["vector", "456u32"] }
