I know of Foreman (though it is a Rails application), which provides a rake target for manipulating Foremans in-database settings. You can have a look at its help output at http://pastebin.com/czQXj5kX As you can see, there is the possibility of specifying simple key/value data types as well complex (nested) hash/array types via JSON.
