Support for hierarchical keys?

[stepanStanc]

In version 3.0.1 it was possible to use hierarchical keys (:) thanks to the configurations API that is used https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/configuration/?view=aspnetcore-7.0#configuration-keys-and-values. After this issue #29 and this change ecf7169 that stopped being supported in version 3.1.0.

Would it be possible to bring support for this back, or should an alternate approach be taken?

We could think about an alternative solution for this. Feel free to open a PR if you want

It's possible to either rollback to using the configuration approach, or to replicate the same funcionality for the structured data using the current json parser. What was the motivation for using System.Text.Json instead?

What was the motivation for using System.Text.Json instead?

This was the plan, there're new APIs that make parsing JSON much easier and more efficient

Sorry @stepanStanc for this taking so long, please remind me is the hierarchical keys used colon in the past, I need to bring this feature back if it's necessary or think about alternative way

Hierarchical keys are back 🚀, please let me know if you have any feedback
