Interface ConfigDocument
public interface ConfigDocument
Represents an individual HOCON or JSON file, preserving all
formatting and syntax details. This can be used to replace
individual values and exactly render the original text of the
input.
Because this object is immutable, it is safe to use from multiple threads and there's no need for "defensive copies."
Do not implement interface ConfigDocument
; it should only be
implemented by the config library. Arbitrary implementations will not work
because the library internals assume a specific concrete implementation.
Also, this interface is likely to grow new methods over time, so third-party
implementations will break.

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not a ConfigDocument has a value at the desired path.render()
The original text of the input, modified if necessary with any replaced or added values.withoutPath
(String path) Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with all values at the desired path removed.withValue
(String path, ConfigValue newValue) Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with the desired value set at the desired path.withValueText

Method Details

withValueText
Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with the desired value set at the desired path. If the path exists, it will remove all duplicates before the final occurrence of the path, and replace the value at the final occurrence of the path. If the path does not exist, it will be added. If the document has an array as the root value, an exception will be thrown.- Parameters:
path
- the path at which to set the desired valuenewValue
- the value to set at the desired path, represented as a string. This string will be parsed into a ConfigNode using the same options used to parse the entire document, and the text will be inserted as-is into the document. Leading and trailing comments, whitespace, or newlines are not allowed, and if present an exception will be thrown. If a concatenation is passed in for newValue but the document was parsed with JSON, the first value in the concatenation will be parsed and inserted into the ConfigDocument.- Returns:
- a copy of the ConfigDocument with the desired value at the desired path
-
withValue
Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with the desired value set at the desired path. Works likewithValueText(String, String)
, but takes a ConfigValue instead of a string.- Parameters:
path
- the path at which to set the desired valuenewValue
- the value to set at the desired path, represented as a ConfigValue. The rendered text of the ConfigValue will be inserted into the ConfigDocument.- Returns:
- a copy of the ConfigDocument with the desired value at the desired path
-
withoutPath
Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with all values at the desired path removed. If the path does not exist in the document, a copy of the current document will be returned. If there is an array at the root, an exception will be thrown.- Parameters:
path
- the path to remove from the document- Returns:
- a copy of the ConfigDocument with the desired value removed from the document.
-
hasPath
Returns a boolean indicating whether or not a ConfigDocument has a value at the desired path. null counts as a value for purposes of this check.- Parameters:
path
- the path to check- Returns:
- true if the path exists in the document, otherwise false
-
render
String render()The original text of the input, modified if necessary with any replaced or added values.- Returns:
- the modified original text
