Make this a JSON file?

[cneud]

Since the majority of the information contained here has now been merged into kba/awesome-ocr and also due to the fact that Markdown tables are neither fun to edit nor specifically practical to reuse, I wonder: some information from here cannot easily be carried over to the awesome list without messing it up, but may still be relevant for some - would a JSON file make more sense perhaps? Or are there any other ideas, opinions on this? @kba @jbaiter

I think that's an excellent idea. I would make it a YAML/HJSON/JSON5 file (because easier to read/edit) and define a JSON schema. This way, not only could we generate tables/lists but make the data machine-actionable in the long run, e.g. for an automated OCR training infrastructure.

Ideally such a data model should be developed to be congruous to the upcoming schema for trained OCR models in OCR-D.
