That looks a lot like HCL / Terraform / OpenTofu.

I will die on the hill that XML is a superior config format and people are just afraid of it cause they see the advanced features (that you don't need to use) and think it's too complicated.

I'd have a much easier time with XML if I could feed it a json schema or something similar so my editor knows the format it should be in.
