ConfigParser (Helidon 1.4.12 API)

```
public interface ConfigParser
```
Transforms config ConfigParser.Content into a ConfigNode.ObjectNode that represents the original structure and values from the content.
The application can register parsers on a Builder using the Config.Builder.addParser(ConfigParser) method. The config system also locates parsers using the Java ServiceLoader mechanism and automatically adds them to every Builder unless the application disables this feature for a given Builder by invoking Config.Builder.disableParserServices().
A parser can specify a Priority. If no priority is explicitly assigned, the value of 100 is assumed.

Config.Builder.addParser(ConfigParser), Source.load(), AbstractParsableConfigSource, ConfigParsers - access built-in implementations.

Set<String> supportedMediaTypes()
```
    Returns set of supported media types by the parser.
    Set of supported media types is used while looking for appropriate parser by ConfigSource implementations.
    ConfigSource implementations usually use Files.probeContentType(Path) method to guess source media type, if not explicitly set.
    
    Returns:
    
    supported media types by the parser

```
<S> ConfigNode.ObjectNode parse(ConfigParser.Content<S> content)
                         throws ConfigParserException
```
    Parses a specified ConfigParser.Content into a hierarchical configuration representation.
    Never returns null.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    S - a type of data stamp
    
    Parameters:
    
    content - a content to be parsed
    
    Returns:
    
    parsed hierarchical configuration representation
    
    Throws:
    
    ConfigParserException - in case of problem to parse configuration from the source
