Spring Hocon PropertySourceLoader

Project aims to add support for HOCON format in spring boot configuration files. YAML is great, but some people prefer HOCON more so it's good to have a choice.

There are 2 modules:

1. spring-hocon-property-source - contains property source loader itself
2. hocon-property-example - contains simple spring-boot-starter-web project with demonstration of hocon configuration

How to use it in my spring boot code?

Version 0.4 is aimed for SpringBoot 2.2. For 1.x check version 0.1

1. Add a dependency to your maven project

    <dependency>
          <groupId>com.github.zeldigas</groupId>
          <artifactId>spring-hocon-property-source</artifactId>
          <version>0.4.0</version>
    </dependency>
   

2. In META-INF/factories file add the following line

    org.springframework.boot.env.PropertySourceLoader=com.github.zeldigas.spring.env.HoconPropertySourceLoader
   

3. Place your HOCON configuration to *.conf files

4. Enjoy!

Alternatively you can use @HoconPropertySource("my-hocon.conf") annotation to load specific file on classpath just like you can do with @PropertySource annotation for *.properties files.
