Abstract
A file format corresponding to each configuration file is identified. Each configuration file is parsed into a single tree structure with the corresponding file format. The single tree structure is modified with an Application Program Interface (API). The configuration file is bidirectionally updated to reflect the modified single tree structure while preserving the file format of each configuration file. The file format includes instructions on how each entry in each configuration file is to be mapped into the single tree structure.
