Configuration Endpoint

When debugging a service, you may want to view its current configuration in order to check if things are configured correctly. For this purpose, every Microdot service exposes a configuration endpoint, which can be called from outside service and return its current configuration tree with all values from all levels, specifying which value is the value that is currently being used. In order to call the config endpoint, call the service at the service's port at url of /config.

For example, if your service is running on localhost:4567, you can call http://localhost:4567/config, and get a list of all configuration values (under the Configuration Entries section) and some more runtime data in plain text. It will look something like this:
