I've definitely seen a lot more "advanced" INI files that try to introduce a hierarchical structure to the format. Windows has starting doing this in various places. For example, [Control Panel\Desktop] Wallpaper=%SystemRoot%\Wallpaper.bmp Or [Hardware.Video] Resolution=1600x1200 For whatever it's worth I agree with the sentiments already expressed that JSON and YAML aren't worth it. INI and XML are well-known, well-supported, and can probably do anything you need.
