Answer
Configuration is layered: JSON files, environment variables, user secrets, key vaults, in-memory providers. Each source overrides the previous. Supports binding to objects, reload-on-change, and environment-based settings.
Quick Answer
Configuration is layered and merged: appsettings.json (base) → appsettings.Development.json (environment override) → environment variables → command-line. Later sources win. Access via IConfiguration["Key"] or GetSection(). Bind entire sections to typed POCOs with services.Configure(config.GetSection("Section")) for strongly-typed access.
