Install

  • .NET CLI: > dotnet add package sharpconfig
  • Package Manager: > NuGet\Install-Package sharpconfig
  • Download latest

Example

# An example configuration:

[General]
# a comment
SomeString = Hello World!
SomeInteger = 10 # an inline comment
SomeFloat = 20.05
SomeBoolean = true
SomeArray = { 1, 2, 3 }
Day = Monday

[Person]
Name = Peter
Age = 50

To read these values, your C# code would look like:

var config = Configuration.LoadFromFile("sample.cfg");
var section = config["General"];

string    someString      = section["SomeString"].StringValue;
int       someInteger     = section["SomeInteger"].IntValue;
float     someFloat       = section["SomeFloat"].FloatValue;
bool      someBool        = section["SomeBoolean"].BoolValue;
int[]     someIntArray    = section["SomeArray"].IntValueArray;
string[]  someStringArray = section["SomeArray"].StringValueArray;
DayOfWeek day             = section["Day"].GetValue<DayOfWeek>();

// Entire user-defined objects can be created from sections and vice versa.
var person = config["Person"].ToObject<Person>();
// ...
