§The Typesafe Config API
Play uses the Typesafe config library as the configuration library. If you’re not familiar with Typesafe config, you may also want to read the documentation on configuration file syntax and features.
§Accessing the configuration
Typically, you’ll obtain a Config object through Dependency Injection, or simply by passing an instance of Config to your component:

package controllers
import com.typesafe.config.Config;
import javax.inject.Inject;
import play.mvc.Controller;
public class MyController extends Controller {
private final Config config;
@Inject
public MyController(Config config) {
this.config = config;
}
}§API documentation
Since Play just uses Config object, you can see the javadoc for the class to see what you can do and how to access configuration data.
