I think JSON is also reasonable, but one of the problem to use JSON format is
we cannot apply the extension patch until JSON patch has been applied ;-)

BTW, does anyone needs JSON formatted configuration files for other purposes?
There might be some discussions in "Standby registration" or "Configuring
synchronous replication" threads. Module control files are so simple that
they don't always require JSON format, such as nested variable. But
configuration files for replication might be more complex. If needed,
it would be reasonable to introduce a JSON reader.
