Support for HOCON (typesafe config) backend?

[Daenyth]

I didn't see an example in the README - is this something that could be added, perhaps as a separate module?

I don't think it's possible but if it is I'd be happy for it to be an optional module.

@japgolly I came to know about this library and it is really awesome :) Thanks

Regarding the hocon format, if I currently have a config format as:

database {
  mongo {
   username = "mongoUser"
   password = "pass1"
  }
  postgres {
    username = "pgUser"
    password = "pass2"
  }
}

I should re-write them as and use .withPrefix("database.mongo.") and withPrefix("database.postgres.")

database.mongo.username = "mongoUser"
database.mongo.password = "pass1"
database.postgres.username = "pgUser"
database.postgres.password = "pass2"

Is this correct, or am I missing something?

Hi @yadavan88 , currently we don't support reading from HOCON format.

If you mean you're moving away from HOCON, then yes that's the right way to do it. You could also have .withPrefix("mongo.") and .withPrefix("postgres.") and then after they're composed together, put a .withPrefix("database.") on the outside, but that depends on how you structure your config code. Whichever way works best for you is the one you should choose.
