Container

trait Container extends ConfigValue
An AbstractConfigValue which contains other values. Java has no way to
express "this has to be an AbstractConfigValue also" other than making
AbstractConfigValue an interface which would be aggravating. But we can say
we are a ConfigValue.

Value members

Methods

Replace a child of this value. CAUTION if replacement is null, delete the
child, which may also delete the parent, or make the parent into a
non-container.
def hasDescendant(descendant: AbstractConfigValue): Boolean
Super-expensive full traversal to see if descendant is anywhere
underneath this container.

Inherited methods

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.
Value Params
origin
the origin set on the returned value
Returns
the new ConfigValue with the given origin
Since
1.3.0
Inhertied from
ConfigValue
The origin of the value (file, line number, etc.), for debugging and
error messages.
Returns
where the value came from
Inhertied from
ConfigValue
def atKey(key: String): Config
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.
Inhertied from
ConfigValue
The [[ConfigValueType]] of the value; matches the JSON type schema.
Returns
value's type
Inhertied from
ConfigValue
def atPath(path: String): Config
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.

def render(options: ConfigRenderOptions): String
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
Inhertied from
ConfigValue
def render: String
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
Inhertied from
ConfigValue
def unwrapped: AnyRef
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 plain Java value corresponding to this ConfigValue
