+## Configuration
+
+Grape counts with a module `Grape::Config` for some basic configuration at load time.
+Currently the configurable settings are:
+
+* `param_builder`: Sets the default [Parameter Builder](#parameters), by default: `Grape::Extensions::ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess::ParamBuilder`
+
+To change a setting value make sure that at some point on load time the code the following code runs
+
+```ruby
+Grape::Config.configure do |config|
+  config.setting = value
+end
+```
+
+For example, for the `param_builder`, the following code could run in an initializers:
+
+```ruby
+Grape::Config.configure do |config|
+  config.param_builder = Grape::Extensions::Hashie::Mash::ParamBuilder
+end
+```
+
 ## Parameters
 
 Request parameters are available through the `params` hash object. This includes `GET`, `POST`

+Or globally with the [Configuration](#configuration) `Grape::Config.param_builder`

 In the example above, `params["color"]` will return `nil` since `params` is a plain `Hash`.
 
 Available parameter builders are `Grape::Extensions::Hash::ParamBuilder`, `Grape::Extensions::ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess::ParamBuilder` and `Grape::Extensions::Hashie::Mash::ParamBuilder`.
