### Hocon Configuration Format

The Hocon Configuration Format extends the Vert.x Configuration Retriever and provides the support for the HOCON(https://github.com/typesafehub/config/blob/master/HOCON.md) format.

It supports includes, json, properties, macros…​

#### Using the Hocon Configuration Format

To use the Hocon Configuration Format, add the following dependency to the dependencies section of your build descriptor:

- Maven (in your `pom.xml`):

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.vertx</groupId>
      <artifactId>vertx-config-hocon</artifactId>
      <version>3.4.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.vertx</groupId>
      <artifactId>vertx-config</artifactId>
      <version>3.4.0</version>
    </dependency>

- Gradle (in your `build.gradle` file):

    compile 'io.vertx:vertx-config:3.4.0'
    compile 'io.vertx:vertx-config-hocon:3.4.0'

#### Configuring the store to use HOCON

Once added to your classpath or dependencies, you need to configure the `ConfigRetriever` to use this format:

    require 'vertx-config/config_retriever'
    store = {
      'type' => "file",
      'config' => {
        'path' => "my-config.yaml",
        'format' => "yaml"
      }
    }

    retriever = VertxConfig::ConfigRetriever.create(vertx, {
      'stores' => [
        store
      ]
    })

You just need to set `format` to `hocon`.
