Note that you can't directly use the ConfigAdapter package. You need a module that implements the logic needed for a specific file format. Don't worry, you can use more than one file format at the same time.

These are the officially supported file formats at this moment:

  • XML files, with the ConfigAdapter.Xml package
  • INI files, with the ConfigAdapter.Ini package
  • JSON files, with the ConfigAdapter.Json package
  • YAML files, with the ConfigAdapter.Yaml package

Inside Visual Studio

  • Right click your project on the Solution Explorer and select 'Manage NuGet Packages'.
  • Open the 'Browse' tab in the NuGet Package Manager window.
  • Search for the package name you need.
  • Click 'Install' on the right side pane.
  • If necessary, accept and confirm any info windows that may appear.

From a Command Line

  • Open the Command Line window on the root folder of your project.
  • Write this command: Install-Package [PackageName] where PackageName is the name of the package you need.
  • The package should be automatically downloaded and imported.

ConfigAdapter is available on GitHub. That's where most of its development work takes place. Feel free to go take a look and poke around. The chances of causing a global apocalypse are very slim, by our calculations.
