    Description

      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).
