Theory of Operation
-------------------

[](#theory-of-operation)

You can use the `Configuration` to read single values from a multidimensional array by passing the path to one of the `get{type}()` and `find{type}()` methods.

Each `get*() / find*()` method takes a default value as second argument. If the path cannot be found in the original array, the default is used as return value.

A `get*()` method returns only the declared return type. If the default value is not given and the element cannot be found, an exception is thrown.

A `find*()` method returns only the declared return type or `null`. No exception is thrown if the element cannot be found.
