The Config Component
====================

The Config component provides several classes to help you find, load,
combine, fill and validate configuration values of any kind, whatever
their source may be (YAML, XML, INI files, or for instance a database).
The Config component provides utilities to define and manage the configuration
options of PHP applications. It allows you to:

* Define a configuration structure, its validation rules, default values and documentation;
* Support different configuration formats (YAML, XML, INI, etc.);
* Merge multiple configurations from different sources into a single configuration.

.. note::

You don't have to use this component to configure Symfony applications.
Instead, read the docs about :doc:`how to configure Symfony applications </configuration>`.
