Simplistic Java model classes for NGINX config files

Goals

• POJO style
• Read-Modify-Write
• Change only what is known, esp.:
  • Don't change unknown tokens
  • Don't change comments or whitespace
  • This does not have to be perfect for whitespace between known expressions

Non-Goals

• Validation
• To Be Fast
• Access to all aspects of the config
• Build config from scratch

Alternatives

• odiszapc/nginx-java-parser
  • Doesn't retain empty lines
  • Not typesafe

Restrictions

Anything between upstream and server directives will be moved after the last server directive. This kind of moving also happens to unknown expressions within known blocks.
