config-rs

Layered configuration system for Rust applications (with strong support for [12-factor] applications).

Set defaults
Set explicit values (to programmatically override)
Read from [JSON], [TOML], [YAML], [INI], [RON], [JSON5] files
Read from environment
Loosely typed — Configuration values may be read in any supported type, as long as there exists a reasonable conversion
Access nested fields using a formatted path — Uses a subset of JSONPath; currently supports the child ( redis.port ) and subscript operators ( databases[0].name )

Please note that this library can not be used to write changed configuration values back to the configuration file(s)!

Usage

toml [dependencies] config = "0.13"

Support for custom formats

Library provides out of the box support for most renowned data formats such as JSON or Yaml. Nonetheless, it contains an extensibility point - a Format trait that, once implemented, allows seamless integration with library's APIs using custom, less popular or proprietary data formats.

See custom_format example for more information.

See the documentation or examples for more usage information.
