/**
*
* This package contains the implementations of configuration builder classes used to create new
* {@code Configuration} objects.
*
*
* In Commons Configuration, configuration builders are responsible for the creation and initialization of
* {@code Configuration} objects. The typical use case is that a builder is created and configured with initialization
* parameters defining specific settings for the configuration to be created. The builder can then be stored centrally.
* Each component requiring access to configuration information queries the builder for its managed
* {@code Configuration} and can read or write properties as its pleasure.
*
* Important note
*
* This package contains a number of interfaces that reflect the initialization parameters available for
* supported configuration implementations. These interfaces are not intended to be implemented by client code! When new
* features are added to the represented configuration classes corresponding new methods will be added to them. This can
* happen even in minor releases.
