Reactive-Config will Hocon you... so Don't Stop The Appli \o/
summary
A small Scala library wraps Typesafe Config (HOCON) to add live reload of file-backed config without restarting applications. It uses Akka actors — a periodic file finder/watcher and a config-holder actor that receives reload messages — runs on the actor system execution context with a configurable poll interval, and is tested with Play 2.6 (used to reload an external URL in a controller); some Typesafe Config conversions are not yet implemented.
