>>> f = cfg.config({"foo": "bar", "this": ["is", "an", "example"]})
>>> f.save("test.cfg", "yaml") # or: f.to_yaml("test.cfg")

If not specifeid, the format of the file will be automatically detected according to the file suffix. Valid formats include ini, json, yaml, pickle, toml, etc. For example:

>>> f.save("test.yaml") # a yaml file is created
>>> f.save("test.pkl") # a pickle file is created
>>> f.save("unspecified.cfg") # by default a json file is created

Read from a config file

>>> cfg.read("test.cfg")
cfgtools.config({'foo': 'bar', 'this': ['is', 'an', 'example']})

The encoding and format of the file will be automatically detected if not specified.

Modify configs

>>> f["foo"] = None
>>> f["that"] = {"is": ["also", "an", "example"]}
>>> f
cfgtools.config({
    'foo': None, 'this': ['is', 'an', 'example'],
    'that': {'is': ['also', 'an', 'example']},
})
