Interface Config
- All Superinterfaces:
ConfigMergeable
foo.bar.baz
. Values are as in JSON
(booleans, strings, numbers, lists, or objects), represented by
ConfigValue
instances. Values accessed through the
Config
interface are never null.
Config
is an immutable object and thus safe to use from multiple
threads. There's never a need for "defensive copies."
Fundamental operations on a Config
include getting configuration
values, resolving substitutions with resolve()
, and
merging configs using withFallback(ConfigMergeable)
.
All operations return a new immutable Config
rather than modifying
the original instance.
Examples
You can find an example app and library on GitHub. Also be sure to read the package overview which describes the big picture as shown in those examples.
Paths, keys, and Config vs. ConfigObject
Config
is a view onto a tree of ConfigObject
; the
corresponding object tree can be found through root()
.
ConfigObject
is a map from config keys, rather than
paths, to config values. Think of ConfigObject
as a JSON object
and Config
as a configuration API.
The API tries to consistently use the terms "key" and "path." A key is a key in a JSON object; it's just a string that's the key in a map. A "path" is a parseable expression with a syntax and it refers to a series of keys. Path expressions are described in the spec for Human-Optimized Config Object Notation. In brief, a path is period-separated so "a.b.c" looks for key c in object b in object a in the root object. Sometimes double quotes are needed around special characters in path expressions.
The API for a Config
is in terms of path expressions, while the API
for a ConfigObject
is in terms of keys. Conceptually, Config
is a one-level map from paths to values, while a
ConfigObject
is a tree of nested maps from keys to values.
Use ConfigUtil.joinPath(java.lang.String...)
and ConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
to convert
between path expressions and individual path elements (keys).
Another difference between Config
and ConfigObject
is that
conceptually, ConfigValue
s with a valueType()
of NULL
exist in a
ConfigObject
, while a Config
treats null values as if they
were missing. (With the exception of two methods: hasPathOrNull(java.lang.String)
and getIsNull(java.lang.String)
let you detect null
values.)
Getting configuration values
The "getters" on a Config
all work in the same way. They never return
null, nor do they return a ConfigValue
with
valueType()
of NULL
. Instead, they throw ConfigException.Missing
if the value is
completely absent or set to null. If the value is set to null, a subtype of
ConfigException.Missing
called ConfigException.Null
will be
thrown. ConfigException.WrongType
will be thrown anytime you ask for
a type and the value has an incompatible type. Reasonable type conversions
are performed for you though.
Iteration
If you want to iterate over the contents of a Config
, you can get its
ConfigObject
with root()
, and then iterate over the
ConfigObject
(which implements java.util.Map
). Or, you
can use entrySet()
which recurses the object tree for you and builds
up a Set
of all path-value pairs where the value is not null.
Resolving substitutions
Substitutions are the ${foo.bar}
syntax in config
files, described in the specification. Resolving substitutions replaces these references with real
values.
Before using a Config
it's necessary to call resolve()
to handle substitutions (though ConfigFactory.load()
and similar
methods will do the resolve for you already).
Merging
The full Config
for your application can be constructed using
the associative operation withFallback(ConfigMergeable)
. If
you use ConfigFactory.load()
(recommended), it merges system
properties over the top of application.conf
over the top of
reference.conf
, using withFallback
. You can add in
additional sources of configuration in the same way (usually, custom layers
should go either just above or just below application.conf
,
keeping reference.conf
at the bottom and system properties at
the top).
Serialization
Convert a Config
to a JSON or HOCON string by calling
ConfigValue.render()
on the root object,
myConfig.root().render()
. There's also a variant
ConfigValue.render(ConfigRenderOptions)
which allows you to control
the format of the rendered string. (See ConfigRenderOptions
.) Note
that Config
does not remember the formatting of the original
file, so if you load, modify, and re-save a config file, it will be
substantially reformatted.
As an alternative to ConfigValue.render()
, the
toString()
method produces a debug-output-oriented
representation (which is not valid JSON).
Java serialization is supported as well for Config
and all
subtypes of ConfigValue
.
This is an interface but don't implement it yourself
Do not implement Config
; it should only be implemented by
the config library. Arbitrary implementations will not work because the
library internals assume a specific concrete implementation. Also, this
interface is likely to grow new methods over time, so third-party
implementations will break.

Method Details

).- Returns:
- the root object in the configuration
-

-
withFallback
Description copied from interface:ConfigMergeable
Returns a new value computed by merging this value with another, with keys in this value "winning" over the other one.This associative operation may be used to combine configurations from multiple sources (such as multiple configuration files).
The semantics of merging are described in the spec for HOCON. Merging typically occurs when either the same object is created twice in the same file, or two config files are both loaded. For example:
foo = { a: 42 } foo = { b: 43 }
Here, the two objects are merged as if you had written:foo = { a: 42, b: 43 }
Only
ConfigObject
andConfig
instances do anything in this method (they need to merge the fallback keys into themselves). All other values just return the original value, since they automatically override any fallback. This means that objects do not merge "across" non-objects; if you writeobject.withFallback(nonObject).withFallback(otherObject)
, thenotherObject
will simply be ignored. This is an intentional part of how merging works, because non-objects such as strings and integers replace (rather than merging with) any prior value:foo = { a: 42 } foo = 10
Here, the number 10 "wins" and the value offoo
would be simply 10. Again, for details see the spec.- Specified by:
withFallback
in interfaceConfigMergeable
- Parameters:
other
- an object whose keys should be used as fallbacks, if the keys are not present in this one- Returns:
- a new object (or the original one, if the fallback doesn't get used)
-
resolve
Config resolve()Returns a replacement config with all substitutions (the${foo.bar}
syntax, see the spec) resolved. Substitutions are looked up using thisConfig
as the root object, that is, a substitution${foo.bar}
will be replaced with the result ofgetValue("foo.bar")
.This method uses
ConfigResolveOptions.defaults()
, there is another variantresolve(ConfigResolveOptions)
which lets you specify non-default options.A given
Config
must be resolved before using it to retrieve config values, but ideally should be resolved one time for your entire stack of fallbacks (seewithFallback(com.typesafe.config.ConfigMergeable)
). Otherwise, some substitutions that could have resolved with all fallbacks available may not resolve, which will be potentially confusing for your application's users.resolve()
should be invoked on root config objects, rather than on a subtree (a subtree is the result of something likeconfig.getConfig("foo")
). The problem withresolve()
on a subtree is that substitutions are relative to the root of the config and the subtree will have no way to get values from the root. For example, if you didconfig.getConfig("foo").resolve()
on the below config file, it would not work:common-value = 10 foo { whatever = ${common-value} }
Many methods on
ConfigFactory
such asConfigFactory.load()
automatically resolve the loadedConfig
on the loaded stack of config files.Resolving an already-resolved config is a harmless no-op, but again, it is best to resolve an entire stack of fallbacks (such as all your config files combined) rather than resolving each one individually.
- Returns:
- an immutable object with substitutions resolved
- Throws:
ConfigException.UnresolvedSubstitution
- if any substitutions refer to nonexistent pathsConfigException
- some other config exception if there are other problems
-
resolve
Likeresolve()
but allows you to specify non-default options.- Parameters:
options
- resolve options- Returns:
- the resolved
Config
(may be only partially resolved if options are set to allow unresolved)
-
isResolved
boolean isResolved()Checks whether the config is completely resolved. After a successful call toresolve()
it will be completely resolved, but after callingresolve(ConfigResolveOptions)
withallowUnresolved
set in the options, it may or may not be completely resolved. A newly-loaded config may or may not be completely resolved depending on whether there were substitutions present in the file.- Returns:
- true if there are no unresolved substitutions remaining in this configuration.
- Since:
- 1.2.0
-
resolveWith
Likeresolve()
except that substitution values are looked up in the given source, rather than in this instance. This is a special-purpose method which doesn't make sense to use in most cases; it's only needed if you're constructing some sort of app-specific custom approach to configuration. The more usual approach if you have a source of substitution values would be to merge that source into your config stack usingwithFallback(com.typesafe.config.ConfigMergeable)
and then resolve.Note that this method does NOT look in this instance for substitution values. If you want to do that, you could either merge this instance into your value source using
withFallback(com.typesafe.config.ConfigMergeable)
, or you could resolve multiple times with multiple sources (usingConfigResolveOptions.setAllowUnresolved(boolean)
so the partial resolves don't fail).- Parameters:
source
- configuration to pull values from- Returns:
- an immutable object with substitutions resolved
- Throws:
ConfigException.UnresolvedSubstitution
- if any substitutions refer to paths which are not in the sourceConfigException
- some other config exception if there are other problems- Since:
- 1.2.0
-
resolveWith
LikeresolveWith(Config)
but allows you to specify non-default options.- Parameters:
source
- source configuration to pull values fromoptions
- resolve options- Returns:
- the resolved
Config
(may be only partially resolved if options are set to allow unresolved) - Since:
- 1.2.0
-
checkValid
Validates this config against a reference config, throwing an exception if it is invalid. The purpose of this method is to "fail early" with a comprehensive list of problems; in general, anything this method can find would be detected later when trying to use the config, but it's often more user-friendly to fail right away when loading the config.Using this method is always optional, since you can "fail late" instead.
You must restrict validation to paths you "own" (those whose meaning are defined by your code module). If you validate globally, you may trigger errors about paths that happen to be in the config but have nothing to do with your module. It's best to allow the modules owning those paths to validate them. Also, if every module validates only its own stuff, there isn't as much redundant work being done.
If no paths are specified in
checkValid()
's parameter list, validation is for the entire config.If you specify paths that are not in the reference config, those paths are ignored. (There's nothing to validate.)
Here's what validation involves:
- All paths found in the reference config must be present in this config or an exception will be thrown.
-
Some changes in type from the reference config to this config will cause
an exception to be thrown. Not all potential type problems are detected,
in particular it's assumed that strings are compatible with everything
except objects and lists. This is because string types are often "really"
some other type (system properties always start out as strings, or a
string like "5ms" could be used with
getMilliseconds(java.lang.String)
). Also, it's allowed to set any type to null or override null with any type. - Any unresolved substitutions in this config will cause a validation failure; both the reference config and this config should be resolved before validation. If the reference config is unresolved, it's a bug in the caller of this method.
If you want to allow a certain setting to have a flexible type (or otherwise want validation to be looser for some settings), you could either remove the problematic setting from the reference config provided to this method, or you could intercept the validation exception and screen out certain problems. Of course, this will only work if all other callers of this method are careful to restrict validation to their own paths, as they should be.
If validation fails, the thrown exception contains a list of all problems found. See
ConfigException.ValidationFailed.problems
. The exception'sgetMessage()
will have all the problems concatenated into one huge string, as well.Again,
checkValid()
can't guess every domain-specific way a setting can be invalid, so some problems may arise later when attempting to use the config.checkValid()
is limited to reporting generic, but common, problems such as missing settings and blatant type incompatibilities.- Parameters:
reference
- a reference configurationrestrictToPaths
- only validate values underneath these paths that your code module owns and understands- Throws:
ConfigException.ValidationFailed
- if there are any validation issuesConfigException.NotResolved
- if this config is not resolvedConfigException.BugOrBroken
- if the reference config is unresolved or caller otherwise misuses the API
-
hasPath
Checks whether a value is present and non-null at the given path. This differs in two ways fromMap.containsKey()
as implemented byConfigObject
: it looks for a path expression, not a key; and it returns false for null values, whilecontainsKey()
returns true indicating that the object contains a null value for the key.If a path exists according to
hasPath(String)
, thengetValue(String)
will never throw an exception. However, the typed getters, such asgetInt(String)
, will still throw if the value is not convertible to the requested type.Note that path expressions have a syntax and sometimes require quoting (see
ConfigUtil.joinPath(java.lang.String...)
andConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
).- Parameters:
path
- the path expression- Returns:
- true if a non-null value is present at the path
- Throws:
ConfigException.BadPath
- if the path expression is invalid
-
hasPathOrNull
Checks whether a value is present at the given path, even if the value is null. Most of the getters onConfig
will throw if you try to get a null value, so if you plan to callgetValue(String)
,getInt(String)
, or another getter you may want to use plainhasPath(String)
rather than this method.To handle all three cases (unset, null, and a non-null value) the code might look like:
if (config.hasPathOrNull(path)) { if (config.getIsNull(path)) { // handle null setting } else { // get and use non-null setting } } else { // handle entirely unset path }
However, the usual thing is to allow entirely unset paths to be a bug that throws an exception (because you set a default in your
reference.conf
), so in that case it's OK to callgetIsNull(String)
without checkinghasPathOrNull
first.Note that path expressions have a syntax and sometimes require quoting (see
ConfigUtil.joinPath(java.lang.String...)
andConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
).- Parameters:
path
- the path expression- Returns:
- true if a value is present at the path, even if the value is null
- Throws:
ConfigException.BadPath
- if the path expression is invalid
-
isEmpty
boolean isEmpty()Returns true if theConfig
's root object contains no key-value pairs.- Returns:
- true if the configuration is empty
-
entrySet
Set<Map.Entry<String,ConfigValue>> entrySet()Returns the set of path-value pairs, excluding any null values, found by recursingthe root object
. Note that this is very different fromroot().entrySet()
which returns the set of immediate-child keys in the root object and includes null values.Entries contain path expressions meaning there may be quoting and escaping involved. Parse path expressions with
ConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
.Because a
Config
is conceptually a single-level map from paths to values, there will not be anyConfigObject
values in the entries (that is, all entries represent leaf nodes). UseConfigObject
rather thanConfig
if you want a tree. (OK, this is a slight lie:Config
entries may containConfigList
and the lists may contain objects. But no objects are directly included as entry values.)- Returns:
- set of paths with non-null values, built up by recursing the
entire tree of
ConfigObject
and creating an entry for each leaf value.
-
getIsNull
Checks whether a value is set to null at the given path, but throws an exception if the value is entirely unset. This method will not throw ifhasPathOrNull(String)
returned true for the same path, so to avoid any possible exception checkhasPathOrNull()
first. However, an exception for unset paths will usually be the right thing (because areference.conf
should exist that has the path set, the path should never be unset unless something is broken).Note that path expressions have a syntax and sometimes require quoting (see
ConfigUtil.joinPath(java.lang.String...)
andConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
).- Parameters:
path
- the path expression- Returns:
- true if the value exists and is null, false if it exists and is not null
- Throws:
ConfigException.BadPath
- if the path expression is invalidConfigException.Missing
- if value is not set at all
-
getBoolean

withOnlyPath
Clone the config with only the given path (and its children) retained; all sibling paths are removed.Note that path expressions have a syntax and sometimes require quoting (see
ConfigUtil.joinPath(java.lang.String...)
andConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
).- Parameters:
path
- path to keep- Returns:
- a copy of the config minus all paths except the one specified
-
withoutPath
Clone the config with the given path removed.Note that path expressions have a syntax and sometimes require quoting (see
ConfigUtil.joinPath(java.lang.String...)
andConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
).- Parameters:
path
- path expression to remove- Returns:
- a copy of the config minus the specified path
-
atPath
Places the config inside anotherConfig
at the given path.Note that path expressions have a syntax and sometimes require quoting (see
ConfigUtil.joinPath(java.lang.String...)
andConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
).- Parameters:
path
- path expression to store this config at.- Returns:
- a
Config
instance containing this config at the given path.
-
atKey
Places the config inside aConfig
at the given key. See also atPath(). Note that a key is NOT a path expression (seeConfigUtil.joinPath(java.lang.String...)
andConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
).- Parameters:
key
- key to store this config at.- Returns:
- a
Config
instance containing this config at the given key.
-
withValue
Returns aConfig
based on this one, but with the given path set to the given value. Does not modify this instance (since it's immutable). If the path already has a value, that value is replaced. To remove a value, use withoutPath().Note that path expressions have a syntax and sometimes require quoting (see
ConfigUtil.joinPath(java.lang.String...)
andConfigUtil.splitPath(java.lang.String)
).- Parameters:
path
- path expression for the value's new locationvalue
- value at the new path- Returns:
- the new instance with the new map entry
