It seems very similar.

Structured configuration is the type of configuration language I wanted for Djinn, whereby parameters could be grouped together into blocks, and nested within each other. Hence, the structure. The language I came up with was heavily influenced by HCL, and libucl and has support for duration and size literal values. Below is what the language looks like,

First of all, create a file in the root project directories called compose.yaml. YAML is a text format that uses indentation to specify dependencies between configuration options. Be aware that incorrect indentation will cause problems with executing commands properly.

Most commonly written in YAML, these files are large and complex to read and understand. And being written in YAML comes with its challenges (and quirks) since it is an additional programming language that devs need to learn.

YAML Ain't a Markup Language

Note, that this file is a Markdown and YAML file at the same time, and as such human- and machine-readable, if the fields are filled carefully.

Front matter is a bit of text at the start of a file (YAML to be exact) that is placed between two ---

Meanwhile, formats have been evolving (JSON5, YAML), config entry points are constantly changing. These fluctuations, fortunately, were covered by tools like the cosmiconfig.

Personally, I'd love to see them using a standard file format like TOML or YAML so that they're easy to parse and work with using already-existing tools.
