Something like `libconfig` for Java?

I'm looking for Java framework like libconfig. I like its simple human readable configuration files and also that I can create complex setting values composed from arrays, lists, groups.

Is there anything similar for Java (not XML) ?

Solution

  • Looks like a simple JSON-esque format; why not just use JSON?

    Commons Configuration supports a similarly-formatted config using PropertyListConfiguration.

    A Groovy-based ConfigSlurper might be suitable if you're considering JVM, rather than Java-the-language, solutions. JRuby and JavaScript etc. has similar implementations.
