Hi,

just a question and proposal:

I was preparing to try nncp on several machines, but found, that the hjson file format for /etc/nncp.hjson cannot easily distributed with automatic installation tools like ansible or puppet, because

• it contains both public and secret data, and thus cannot be distributed as one file without modification,
  
  
• it cannot be generated (easily) on the machine with common tools (to compose public and secret data into a single file), since it is not compatible to json and virtually no tool supports hjson.

I therefore would like to make two proposals:

1. Either split the secrect parts (the self-key) and the public parts (shared with others) into two distinct files, to allow easy distribution and update of nncp.hjson or
   
   
2. alternatively allow use of either YAML file format, because YAML is designed to be easy human-readible and easy human-editable, but in contrast to hjson widely used and very well supported by a huge number of tools and programming library. In my eyes, YAML would be a better choice, since it also fulfills nncp's requirements, but it is even easier to read and edit ( no braces needed), and there's lot of tools to compose.
   
   And, YAML is a common standard for configuration files.
   
   If not YAML, then regular JSON, because there's tools for it (like jq).
   

with best regards
