config uri
In most cases this is simply an absolute or relative path to a config file on the system. However, it can also be a :rfc:`1738`-style string pointing at a remote service or a specific parser without relying on the file extension. For example, ``my-ini://foo.ini`` may point to a loader named ``my-ini`` that can parse the relative ``foo.ini`` file.
loader
An object conforming to the :class:`plaster.ILoader` interface. A loader is responsible for locating and parsing the underlying configuration format for the given :term:`config uri`.
loader protocol
A :term:`loader` may implement zero or more custom named protocols. An example would be the ``wsgi`` protocol which requires that a loader implement certain methods like ``wsgi_app = get_wsgi_app(name=None, defaults=None)``.
