Example

# Example configuration of an elasticsearch database
database testdb {
    type "elasticsearch";
    node "node-00" {
        host "192.168.1.10";
        port 9200;
    }
    node "node-01" {
        host "192.168.1.11";
        port 9200;
    }
    node "node-02" {
        host "192.168.1.12";
        port 9200;
    }
}

Usage

Configuration conf = Configuration.parse(new File("path/to/configuration/file"));

System.out.printf("Configuration of the database \"%s\":%n", conf.getString("database"));
System.out.printf("\tType: %s%n", conf.getString("database/type"));
for (Configuration nodeConf : conf.queryAll("database/node")) {
    System.out.printf("\tConfiguration of the node \"%s\":%n", nodeConf.getString());
    System.out.printf("\t\tHost: %s%n", nodeConf.getString("host"));
    System.out.printf("\t\tPort: %d%n", nodeConf.getInteger("port"));
}

Output from console:

Configuration of the database "testdb":
    Type: elasticsearch
    Configuration of the node "node-00":
        Host: 192.168.1.10
        Port: 9200
    Configuration of the node "node-01":
        Host: 192.168.1.11
        Port: 9200
    Configuration of the node "node-02":
        Host: 192.168.1.12
        Port: 9200
