## Getting started
### DUB Dependency
See the [DUB project page](https://code.dlang.org/packages/mirage-config) for instructions on how to include Mirage Config into your project.
### Quickstart
```d
import std.stdio : writeln;
import mirage : loadConfig, parseJavaProperties;
void main() {
// Load configuration from file (see examples/quickstart/config.json):
auto config = loadConfig("config.json");
writeln(config.get("application.name"));
writeln(config.get!long("application.version"));
// Or parse directly from string:
auto properties = parseJavaProperties("
databaseDriver = Postgres
database.host = localhost
database.port = 5432
");
auto databaseConfig = properties.getConfig("database");
writeln(properties.get("databaseDriver"));
writeln(databaseConfig.get("host"));
writeln(databaseConfig.get("port"));
}
```
More formats are available (see [Formats](#formats)).
For more details and examples, see the [examples](examples) directory.
## Formats
The following file formats are currently supported:
| Format | Extension | Import<sup>*</sup> | Loader | Parser | Factory |
|-------------|-------------|--------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------------|-------------------------|
| _any below_ | _any below_ | `mirage` | `loadConfig`<sup>**</sup> | _(N/A)_ | |
| JSON | .json | `mirage.json` | `loadJsonConfig` | `parseJsonConfig`<sup>***</sup> | `JsonConfigFactory` |
| Java | .properties | `mirage.java` | `loadJavaProperties` | `parseJavaProperties` | `JavaPropertiesFactory` |
<sup>\*</sup> _Any loader or parser can be imported from the `mirage` package since they are all publicly imported._
<sup>\*\*</sup> _Loads files based on their extension. If the file does not use one of the extensions in the table, you must use a specific loader._
<sup>\*\*\*</sup> _Besides parsing strings like the other formats, it also accepts a `JSONValue`._
