.NET Strongly-typed Application Configuration with YAML

Why YAML?

YAML is an easy to learn human-readable language, used frequently in communities outside of .NET, particularly the Ruby community. To illustrate the difference between traditional XML based config and YAML config, lets take a look at the simple AppSettings example:

<!-- Traditional .NET app configuration with app settings -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <appsettings> 
        <add key="AppName" value="My App Name" />
        <add key="DatabaseInstance" value="locahost" />
    </appsettings>
</configuration>

And here is how we could represent it in Yaml.

# New hotness Yaml configuration
configuration:
  appSettings:
    AppName: My App Name
    DatabaseInstance: localhost

Aren't you re-inventing the wheel though?

Yes, but this wheel is cooler.
