This is kinda the "Curse of Lisp" territory. You can easily roll your own and put a map into an atom. Because it is rather easy, there are tons of competing configuration libraries that you can use, or not use. https://github.com/juxt/aero https://github.com/yogthos/config https://github.com/tolitius/cprop just to name a few. Lots of good choices, rarely a consensus.

Data transformation in Clojure

Reading and writing JSON from Clojure is very easy. Probably the easiest library to use would be clojure.data.json, though it's not the most performant. If you need better performance, jsonista is probably what you need.
