ConfigList

Recursively unwraps the list, returning a list of plain Java values such as Integer or String or whatever is in the list.

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.

Places the value inside a [[Config]] at the given key. See also ConfigValue#atPath.

Places the value inside a [[Config]] at the given path. See also ConfigValue#atKey.

The origin of the value (file, line number, etc.), for debugging and error messages.

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. 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()).

The [[ConfigValueType]] of the value; matches the JSON type schema.

Returns a new value computed by merging this value with another, with keys in this value "winning" over the other one.

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 = 10

Here, the number 10 "wins" and the value of foo would be simply 10. Again, for details see the spec.
