Support for ASP.NET Core appsettings.json ?

[Inrego]

Hello. Does this currently (or is it planned to) support the new configurations for ASP.NET Core 1.0?

There doesn't seem to be a schema, but there is a .json file available with the currently configured settings. Here's an example:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=aspnet-Ditra.Web-429f8d2d-971a-4358-94fd-e3d762039c60;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
  },
  "Logging": {
    "IncludeScopes": false,
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Debug",
      "System": "Information",
      "Microsoft": "Information"
    }
}

Getting an instance of the configuration is done like this:

var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .SetBasePath(env.ContentRootPath)
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);
var configuration = builder.Build();
var sytemLogLevel = configuration["Logging:System"];

Would be great to have intellisense on the last line of above example to type out "Logging:System".
One can also add user secrets to the builder, which is basically just include a json file stored somewhere else on the system, specific for the project ID. You can read more about that here: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/security/app-secrets.html

To begin with, it would be great to just have intellisense for the properties configured appsettings.json
If you can include other sources, I guess that would be useful too, but maybe another milestone.

@Inrego thanks for the suggestion.
I haven't used ASP.NET Core yet, but I think this is a must have feature.

I'll try to implement it when there will be spare time.

Implemented in 2016.2.1.
