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.

Renders the config value as a HOCON 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()).

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.

This associative operation may be used to combine configurations from multiple sources (such as multiple configuration files).
The semantics of merging are described in the spec for HOCON. Merging typically occurs when either the same object is created twice in the same file, or two config files are both loaded. For example:
foo = { a: 42 }
foo = { b: 43 }Here, the two objects are merged as if you had written:
foo = { a: 42, b: 43 }Only ConfigObject and Config instances do anything in this
method (they need to merge the fallback keys into themselves). All other
values just return the original value, since they automatically override
any fallback. This means that objects do not merge "across" non-objects; if
you write object.withFallback(nonObject).withFallback(otherObject), then
otherObjectwill simply be ignored. This is an intentional part of how
merging works, because non-objects such as strings and integers replace
(rather than merging with) any prior value:
foo = { a: 42 }
foo = 10Here, the number 10 "wins" and the value of foo would be simply 10.
Again, for details see the spec.

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.
