[jira] [Created] (LOG4J2-3299) Add structured format for configuring PropertiesUtil settings

Matt Sicker created LOG4J2-3299:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add structured format for configuring PropertiesUtil settings
                 Key: LOG4J2-3299
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3299
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: API, Configuration
            Reporter: Matt Sicker


The existing list of system properties and environment variables supported by Log4j is enormous. It would be great to improve PropertiesUtil to support a more structured format (like JSON or YAML) to better organize settings. This can enable shipping a default config along with allowing users to override settings in their own config file. This feature can be compared with Spring Boot's bootstrap settings (or even Spring's general application.yaml/application.properties parsing).
