Technically, lua and perl are optional dependencies that are on by default :P

JSON is the cool thing on the block right now too :P

Haha, cool is partially true

XML has just been annoying to work with on all fronts

There's a hundred different ways to do a config these days and JSON is just easy to integrate with just about anything today, makes it an easy choice

What if you have a local login server as well. Same format of appending a number to each login server header?

This is what the conversion gave me from a dual login xml config. I haven't tested the "public" part of it yet.
