Benchmark of Java Configuration Libraries

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/java

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • externalized-properties

    A lightweight and extensible library to resolve application properties from various external sources.

    P.S. I am the author of the Externalized Properties library. The primary reason I created the benchmark is to test how this library fares against the other existing configuration solutions. Just thought of sharing the results here in case others may find it useful. :)

  • gestalt

    A Java configuration library that allows you to build your configurations from multiple sources, merges them and convert them into an easy-to-use typesafe configuration class. A simple but powerful interface allows you to navigate to a path within your configurations and retrieve a configuration object, list, or a primitive value. (by gestalt-config)

    Thanks for including my library, Gestalt Config . it was a nice surprise to see it on the list!
