Guide

confval one phase at a time: the pipeline contract, then parsing, validation, lowering, and diagnostics. Read it in order to learn the library, or jump to the phase you are working on.

Parsing

Parsing turns a configuration file into a spec type.

Validation

Parsing, which precedes validation, ensures the spec is structurally correct.

Lowering

Once a spec is validated, lowering converts it into a config type: the runtime form your program uses.

Diagnostics

When parsing or validation finds a problem, it does not throw.
