Configor is a Go configuration library that loads settings into structs from YAML, JSON, TOML files and shell environment variables. It supports defaults, required fields, multiple config files with priority, environment-based loading, and automatic config reloading.

Use cases

• load application config from yaml in go
• merge and toml config files with priority
• override config values with environment variables
• struct tags for default and required config fields
• auto reload configuration when file changes
• load different configs per environment like development and production

When to choose

• you need a lightweight Go config loader supporting multiple file formats
• you want environment variable overrides and env-based config selection
• you need hot-reloading of configuration files

When to avoid

• you need config validation beyond required fields
• you use Viper or another config library already
• the project needs very frequent maintenance updates
