A simple config API for Java that creates, loads and updates JSON configs using Jackson by FasterXML.

1. Create a config class which is going to store the default values and load the configured values as well, if provided. Make sure to extend the Config class from dev.trxsson.simpleconfigs.

public class SystemConfig extends Config {
    public String test_ip = "127.0.0.1";
    public int test_port = 22;
}

2. Create a variable for the dev.trxsson.simpleconfigs.init.ConfigLoader, providing a Logger of your choice.

ConfigLoader configLoader = new ConfigLoader(System.getLogger("test"));

3. Create a variable or field for the config class and initialize it using the configLoader.loadConfig() method. Provide the file which should be automatically read / created, the class type of the config which should be returned by the method and your project's version as a String. Whenever the version changes, the plugin will automatically back up the config and add / remove changed config parameters.

SystemConfig systemConfig = configLoader.loadConfig(new File("config.json"), SystemConfig.class, "1.0.0")
