Dino,

The most common plain-text format for this kind of thing in the npm 
community is JSON, which has native support via require() and via 
JSON.parse() / JSON.stringify(). It is used by node's/npm's package.json 
file.

But there are plenty of people who prefer YAML or other alternatives and 
plenty of libraries on npm to support reading/writing these formats.

Aside: while it is a great personal exercise to build your own web 
framework, you won't find a lot of people in the node community jumping at 
the chance to try something inspired by Cisco or Oracle products. Node is 
pretty anti-"enterprisey" (see the tongue-in-cheek 
https://twitter.com/enterprisestack), preferring simpler, small-and-sharp 
solutions (following the unix 
philosophy<http://blog.izs.me/post/48281998870/unix-philosophy-and-node-js>). 
Node's trademark guardian (and one of its biggest, most active sponsors), 
Joyent, was founded/birthed in response to Oracle buying the Solaris OS and 
discontinued open development on it.
