The entire reason ACME exists is because you are never writing or reading the CSR by hand. So of course, ACME is based around a format whose entire reason d'etre is being written and read by hand. It's weird. | ||

The reason json is a good format for ACME isn't that it is easy to read and write by hand[1], but that most languages have at least one decent json implementation available, so it is easier to implement clients in many different languages. [1]: although being easy to read by humans is an advantage when debugging why something isn't working. | ||
