Hacore provides a simple approach to read json formatted config files in hack strict mode.

Hacore treats all config values as strings and will explicitly cast them. To access the values of a single key, just use getLeaf($key_name). To get a complete branch of options, use getBranch($key_name).

{
	"foo":"bar",
	"barfoo":666,
	"more":{
		"config":"options"
	}
}

$reader = new \Usox\Hacore\Reader();
$reader->load('path-to-config.json')

$reader->getLeaf('foo'); // returns 'bar'
$reader->getLeaf('barfoo'); // returns '666'
$reader->getBranch('more'); // returns a new Reader instance
