At the risk of showing my Perl background, I tend to dislike JSON because of the syntax restrictions (no comment, no trailing comma, can't use single quote) I find YAML easier to write by hand. That, YAML or JSON may be overkill to store only a list of package names. In any case, there's a Perl for whatever format you choose, so it's up to you.
