What Does It Do? ================ The CFG configuration format is a text format for configuration files which is similar to, and a superset of, the JSON format.It has the following aims:
* Allow a hierarchical configuration scheme with support for key-value mappings and lists. * Support cross-references between one part of the configuration and another. * Provide a string interpolation facility to easily build up configuration values from other configuration values. * Provide the ability to compose configurations (using include and merge facilities). * Provide the ability to access real application objects safely. * Be completely declarative. It overcomes a number of drawbacks of JSON when used as a configuration format: * JSON is more verbose than necessary. * JSON doesn’t allow comments. * JSON doesn’t provide first-class support for dates and multi-line strings. * JSON doesn’t allow trailing commas in lists and mappings. * JSON doesn’t provide easy cross-referencing, interpolation, or composition. The Python config module provides an interface to work with configuration files written in the CFG format.
