Interface IConfigProvider
An interface for configuration providers.
Namespace: IPA.Config
Assembly: IPA.Loader.dll
Syntax
public interface IConfigProvider
Remarks
Implementers must provide a default constructor. Do not assume that File will ever be set for a given object.
Implementers are expected to preserve the typing of values passed to Store(Value, FileInfo) when returned from Load(FileInfo). The only exceptions to this are the numeric types, Integer and FloatingPoint, since they can be coerced to each other with AsFloat() and AsInteger() respectively. The provider should however store and recover Integer with as much precision as is possible. For example, a JSON provider may decide to decode all numbers that have an integral value, even if they were originally FloatingPoint, as Integer. This is reasonable, as Integer is more precise, particularly with larger values, than FloatingPoint.
