> Layered configuration system for Rust applications (with strong support for [12-factor] applications).
[12-factor]: https://12factor.net/config
- Set defaults
- Set explicit values (to programmatically override)
- Read from [JSON], [TOML], [YAML], [INI], [RON], [JSON5] files
- Read from environment
- Loosely typed — Configuration values may be read in any supported type, as long as there exists a reasonable conversion
- Access nested fields using a formatted path — Uses a subset of JSONPath; currently supports the child ( `redis.port` ) and subscript operators ( `databases[0].name` )
[JSON]: https://github.com/serde-rs/json
[TOML]: https://github.com/toml-lang/toml
[YAML]: https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust2
[INI]: https://github.com/zonyitoo/rust-ini
[RON]: https://github.com/ron-rs/ron
[JSON5]: https://github.com/callum-oakley/json5-rs
Please note this library
- can not be used to write changed configuration values back to the configuration file(s)!
- Is case insensitive and all the keys are converted to lowercase internally
## Usage
```toml
[dependencies]
config = "0.14.0"
```
### Feature flags
- `ini` - Adds support for reading INI files
- `json` - Adds support for reading JSON files
- `yaml` - Adds support for reading YAML files
- `toml` - Adds support for reading TOML files
- `ron` - Adds support for reading RON files
- `json5` - Adds support for reading JSON5 files
### Support for custom formats
Library provides out of the box support for most renowned data formats such as JSON or Yaml. Nonetheless, it contains an extensibility point - a `Format` trait that, once implemented, allows seamless integration with library's APIs using custom, less popular or proprietary data formats.
See [custom_file_format](https://github.com/mehcode/config-rs/tree/master/examples/custom_file_format) example for more information.
