ConfigValue
An immutable value, following the JSON type schema.
An immutable value, following the JSON type schema.
Because this object is immutable, it is safe to use from multiple threads and there's no need for "defensive copies."
Do not implement interface ConfigValue
; 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.
Value members
Abstract methods
Places the value inside a [[Config]]
at the given key. See also
[[ConfigValue#atPath]]
.
Places the value inside a [[Config]]
at the given key. See also
[[ConfigValue#atPath]]
.
- Value Params
- key
key to store this value at.
- Returns
a
Config
instance containing this value at the given key.
Places the value inside a [[Config]]
at the given path. See also
[[ConfigValue#atKey]]
.
Places the value inside a [[Config]]
at the given path. See also
[[ConfigValue#atKey]]
.
- Value Params
- path
path to store this value at.
- Returns
a
Config
instance containing this value at the given path.
The origin of the value (file, line number, etc.), for debugging and error messages.
The origin of the value (file, line number, etc.), for debugging and error messages.
- Returns
where the value came from
Renders the config value as a HOCON string. This method is primarily intended for debugging, so it tries to add helpful comments and whitespace.
Renders the config value as a HOCON string. This method is primarily intended for debugging, so it tries to add helpful comments and whitespace.
If the config value has not been resolved (see Config.resolve()), it's possible that it can't be rendered as valid HOCON. In that case the rendering should still be useful for debugging but you might not be able to parse it. If the value has been resolved, it will always be parseable.
This method is equivalent to
render(ConfigRenderOptions.defaults())
.
- Returns
the rendered value
Renders the config value to a string, using the provided options.
Renders the config value to a string, using the provided options.
If the config value has not been resolved (see [Config.resolve()), it's possible that it can't be rendered as valid HOCON. In that case the rendering should still be useful for debugging but you might not be able to parse it. If the value has been resolved, it will always be parseable.
If the config value has been resolved and the options disable all HOCON-specific features (such as comments), the rendering will be valid JSON. If you enable HOCON-only features such as comments, the rendering will not be valid JSON.
- Value Params
- options
the rendering options
- Returns
the rendered value
Returns the value as a plain Java boxed value, that is, a String
,
Number
, Boolean
, Map<String,Object>
,
List
, or null
, matching the [[#valueType]]
of this ConfigValue
. If the value is a [[ConfigObject]]
or
[[ConfigList]]
, it is recursively unwrapped.

Returns a ConfigValue
based on this one, but with the given
origin. This is useful when you are parsing a new format of file or setting
comments for a single ConfigValue.
