XML and XML Schema solved this more than 20 years ago. It had to be replaced with JSON by the web developers though, so they could just “eval() it” to get their data.

XML with RelaxNG (https://relaxng.org/) would have made life so much better than using XML Schema, but, as they say, that ship has long since sailed.

All except the easily written by humans part. Which is kind of a key part.

If all the smart people like you used XML, how come it was so painful to use and it died?
