Nconf-lite is a complete re-written design of original nconf with zero dependancy, tiny and fast while maintaining most if not all of the documented features of the old nconf.
It is a hierarchical node.js configuration with files, environment variables, and atomic object merging.
Compared to nconf running at 952KB with over 220 files installed, nconf-lite is clocking at measly 42KB with only 11 files of easily reviewable code and a ton more unit test, testing almost every micro functionality.
Due to many of the fallbacks and issues on how github is being managed, all code and repository has been moved over to https://git.nfp.is/TheThing/nconf-lite
