Appsettings

The appsettings.json file serves as a configuration source for .NET core projects. The appsettings configuration file is important for developers as it allows a standard JSON configuration while also supporting user secrets (opens in a new tab), aiding in keeping sensitive data out of your repository securely.

Conifx has a dedicated provider for the appsettings configuration file to provide support for user secrets in development.
