package io.dropwizard.configuration;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;


An implementation of ConfigurationSourceProvider which reads the configuration from a resource file. 
 In order to abide by the calling conventions of {ClassLoader#getResourceAsStream} [1], absolute path strings (i.e. those with leading "/" characters) passed to open(String) are converted to relative paths by removing the leading "/". 

See [1] for more information on resources in Java and how they are
loaded at runtime.
