Build Status Go Report Card

A small configuration library for Go that parses environment variables, JSON files, and reloads automatically on SIGHUP.

Example

func main() {
	c := config.New("config.json")

	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		var value string
		c.Get("value", &value)
		fmt.Fprintf(w, "Value: %s", value)
	})

	http.ListenAndServe(":3000", nil)
}

Reload config on SIGHUP
