write UWP app using json-like formatting

XAML uses XML-like formatting. Is there editor that will allow user to write and read XAML code in JSON-like formatting (or some addon to VS) It can be saved and read to XML - but during editing it would be nice to see it more eye friendly.

If you want XAML to look like JSON, then probably not. XAML is just XML.

There are couple of plugins which can reformat XAML according to rules you set, including ReSharper. But they don't display it as a different format.

You can also use the visual designer alone without touching/seeing any code, but from my experience this is not the best idea. I get the best results if I code the XAML by hand and use the visual designer only to visualize the result without running the application.

Creating such plugin would take a huge amount of time and you would have a lot of problems to solve. The problems would probably outweigh the benefits.
