-**Notes about the configuration files and parser:**
-- first thoughts about possible formats: INI, JSON, XML
-- readability for normal users?
-- easily parseable?
-- structure of the files: First section with general properties, following sections with page formats containing format specific properties
-
-INI format:
-- windows specific format
-- good readability, but:
-- no native support in Java, third party lib necessary
-
-JSON & XML:
-- not very readable for normal users
-- syntax can easily be broken unintentionally -> not parseable if broken
-
-Instead: Java Properties?
-- native support (java.util.Properties)
-- allows same division into sections
-- easy list-like syntax similar to INI -> good readability
-- Syntax: *section.property=value*
