Lightbend (nee Typesafe) created a configuration file format named HOCON, which stands for, "Human-Optimized Config Object Notation." This format allows for easy creation and reading of configuration files in Scala applications.
To read a HOCON configuration file in Scala, add the Lightbend Config project dependency to your build.sbt file and use ConfigFactory.load("lightbend.conf") to access settings like driver, url, username, and password.
The key-value pairs in the HOCON file correspond to parameters in the Scala code, making it intuitive for developers to map and retrieve configuration settings.
Using HOCON makes it simple for developers to understand and manage configurations in Scala applications, enhancing readability and maintainability.
