Something like `libconfig` for Java?

Question

I'm looking for Java framework like libconfig. I like its simple human readable configuration files and also that I can create complex setting values composed from arrays, lists, groups.

Is there anything similar for Java (not XML) ?

@fmucar It doesn't seems to be able parse group-like values as libconfig does — kravemir, May 30 '12 at 13:35

Looks like a simple JSON-esque format; why not just use JSON?

Commons Configuration supports a similarly-formatted config using PropertyListConfiguration.

A Groovy-based ConfigSlurper might be suitable if you're considering JVM, rather than Java-the-language, solutions. JRuby and JavaScript etc. has similar implementations.

Commons Configuration and plist seems to be what i'm looking for, but i can't find any tutorial how to use it – kravemir May 30 '12 at 13:49
It seems that i'll end with JSON and maybe google's gson. Thanks :) – kravemir May 30 '12 at 13:53
