Benefit from the structure provided by the file system.
The two aspects are addressed together when configuration is expressed
in a structured text. Also removing reliance upon the hierarchical
structure of a file system. The structure of the information can be
independent of the means of expression.
You can see an example in Oberon.Text which configures ETH Oberon.

I can't cite an explanation of the syntax but it's similar to JSON.

Formal language is a fundament of informatics.
