IConfigReader

Description

The IConfigReader interface is used in configuration readers that retrieve a configuration from various sources and make it availale for other components.

Important points

• Some IConfigReader implementations may support configuration parameterization.
• The parameterization allows to use configuration as a template and inject there dynamic values. The values may come from application command like arguments or environment variables.
