Primitive Types

The most common case for configuration values are primitives.

# A string key1 = foo # A boolean key2 = true # An integer key3 = 123 # A long key4 = 10000000000 # Doubles key5 = 6.67e−11 key6 = Infinity

The following methods are provided for accessing primitive values:

On integers and longs, "K", "M", and "G" can be used to identify kilo, mega, and giga.

key1 = 100K # Same as 1024000 key2 = 100M # Same as 104857600

Numbers can also use hexadecimal and octal notation:

hex1 = 0x12FE hex2 = 0X12FE octal1 = 01234

Strings with newlines are treated as multi-line values that get broken into separate lines:

key1 = This is a particularly long sentence that we want to split onto separate lines.

Typically, multi-line values are started on the next line for clarity like so:

key1 = This is a particularly long sentence that we want to split onto separate lines.
