Hi all,

I’m announcing [GitHub - JuliaComputing/EasyConfig.jl: Easy-to-write JSON-like data structure for Julia](https://github.com/joshday/EasyConfig.jl), which provides some simple improvements for writing nested JSON-like data structures in Julia. My main motivation was to create intermediate levels on the fly, e.g.

```julia
conf = Config()

conf.these.levels.are.created = "neat!"

```

```Julia
{
   "these": {
               "levels": {
                            "are": {
                                      "created": "neat!"
                                   }
                         }
            }
}

```

I don’t imagine this has wide applicability, but it’s been helpful for a project where I needed some of Plotly.js’ native features rather than what is available through Plots.jl.
