Module io.helidon.config

Package io.helidon.config.spi

package io.helidon.config.spi

Configuration SPI that defines the behavior developers can implement to extend the config system.

The most likely developer-implemented extension points:

Common Extension Points

Interface	Purpose
ConfigSource	Loads configuration data from a type of source.
ConfigParser	Converts configuration data into a ConfigNode.ObjectNode.
ConfigFilter	Filters configuration values after they have been read from a ConfigSource but before they are used in building a Config tree.
ConfigMapperProvider	Converts Config nodes or subtrees to Java types. See ConfigMappers for the built-in mappers.
OverrideSource	Replaces values pf config nodes whose keys match specified conditions with alternative values.
PollingStrategy	Notifies interested code when the data underlying a Source might have changed.
RetryPolicy	Controls if and how a Source attempts to retry failed attempts to load the underlying data.

ConfigNode.ValueNode	Single string-based configuration value.
ConfigParser	Transforms config ConfigParser.Content into a ConfigNode.ObjectNode that represents the original structure and values from the content.

LazyConfigSource	A source that is not capable of loading all keys at once.
MergingStrategy	An algorithm for combining multiple ConfigNode.ObjectNode root nodes into a single ConfigNode.ObjectNode root node.
NodeConfigSource	An eager source that can read all data from the underlying origin as a configuration node.
OverrideSource	Source of config override settings.
OverrideSource.OverrideData	Group of config override settings.
OverrideSourceProvider	Java service loader service to provide a override source based on meta configuration.

ParsableSource.Builder<B extends ParsableSource.Builder<B>>	A builder for a parsable source.
PollableSource<S>	A source implementing this interface provides support for polling using a PollingStrategy.
PollableSource.Builder<T extends PollableSource.Builder<T>>	A builder for pollable source.
PollingStrategy	Mechanism for notifying interested listeners when they should check for changes that might have been made to the data used to create a Config tree, as accessed through PollableSources.
