The configuration management API is a data manipulation API. There is no support for data definition functionality. You cannot programmatically inspect, modify or create a configuration schema.

You can add configuration data for your own components by creating a new configuration schema file and installing it into the configuration backend. You can also create a configuration data file for either your own schema or an existing schema and import it into the configuration database.

The backend uses these XML formats internally as well. Some information about the internal organization of the backend is available at https://people.freedesktop.org/~vmiklos/2013/oor-document-format.html.
