[Mozile] Configuration string parsing vs JSON

[Marc Diethelm]

Hi guys.

Let me thank you for this woderful tool you've created, it's easily one 
of the best things I've ever seen.
It's the perfect alternative to bulky and complicated CMS 'solutions'.

One big question though:
Why the heck do you use those long strings to configure the app? You 
have to parse them in a rather complicated, and I guess slow, function 
using pattern matching and string manipulation.

But you could just use Javascript's object notation for that! As I see 
it JSON is perfectly suited to your needs, no parsing necessary. You 
just access the value and you're done.

Or is there a specific reason to do it the way it's currently done?

thanks
