as MARC records are just arrays of arrays, i just use an array of array
(as described here:
https://metacpan.org/module/MARCC/marc-mir-0.4/lib/MARC/MIR.pod )  

So i don't need to specify a format for JSON, YAML, msgpack,
s-expression based DSL: i just use the dumper provided by those libs.

No code is the best code :)
