Konfig is a tool to deserialize JSON/YAML configuration files, while additionally validating and auto-generating documentation.
Konfig is a fork of dropwizard-configuration
. Konfig removes a few dependencies including Guava and Logback and does away with the need to add
certain files in META_INF
. Konfig allows you to serialize and deserialize configuration objects to either YAML or JSON from annotated Java
classes. While deserializing, Konfig validates each property's given value if an appropriate annotation is included (@Min
, @Max
, etc.).
Konfig-dox is a Maven plugin that auto-generates documentation for your configuration classes based off the annotations and class and property
JavaDocs. Given an array of package names to search, it will find all classes implementing Konfigurable
and generate the documentation in JSON
and HTML form.

- You can override value with a Java Vm arg like this:
-Dk.name="Tim Molter"
. - Annotations can be use to constrain fields: min, max, etc.
- You can load config files as Strings, from resources and as a File.
Konfig is built with Maven, which also handles dependency management.
