============================================================================================================================================================

[](#-ultra-lite-config-reader)

An ultra-lightweight config file parser.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$configReader = new \UltraLite\ConfigReader\ConfigReader;
$array = $configReader->getConfigArray('/path/to/file.json');
```

Error Handling
--------------

[](#error-handling)

If there is a problem, it (only) throws an `\UltraLite\ConfigReader\Exception\ConfigReaderException` of some kind.

Supported File Types
--------------------

[](#supported-file-types)

`.json`, `.ini` and `.php` 'return array' files are supported. To be part of the UltraLite project, it is quite lightweight, but it can be extended to support other file types. Just come up with your own implementation of `\UltraLite\ConfigReader\FileParser`:

```
$customFileParser = new MyXmlFileParser();
$configReader->addFileParser($customFileParser);
$array = $configReader->getConfigArray('/path/to/file.xml');
```
