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