SimpleJsonConfig

A dead-simple JSON config reader for .NET.
No ceremony. No POCOs. No dependency injection. No religion.

Why?

Because modern .NET decided configuration needed to be a lifestyle choice.

You know the drill:

  • Inject IConfiguration into something.
  • Set up 12 layers of config providers.
  • Bind to a POCO with optional snake_case massaging.
  • Forget where your setting actually came from.
  • Discover that what you really wanted was GetValue<T>().

Meanwhile, you just wanted to read a number from a file.

What This Does

It loads a JSON file and gives you strongly-typed values.
You call Config.Get<T>("key"). You get the value. That’s it.

Supports all the basic types you care about:

  • string
  • bool
  • int, long, short, byte
  • float, decimal
  • Guid

If you're trying to deserialize a polymorphic object graph or need runtime hot-reload across 3 microservices, this isn’t for you. Go enjoy your framework ceremony.

If you want to read "maxUsers": 25 and move on with your life, welcome.

Example

Look at SimpleJsonConfig.TestApp for an example in use.
One line to load your config file. One line to get a value from it.
That's it. Simple. The way we used to do it back in the day of INI files.
