## [Groovy] Class ConfigSlurper

- groovy.util.ConfigSlurper

- ConfigSlurper is a utility class for reading configuration files defined in the form of Groovy scripts. Configuration settings can be defined using dot notation or scoped using closures:

       grails.webflow.stateless = true
       smtp {
           mail.host = 'smtp.myisp.com'
           mail.auth.user = 'server'
       }
       resources.URL = "http://localhost:80/resources"

  Settings can either be bound into nested maps or onto a specified JavaBean instance. In the latter case, an error will be thrown if a property cannot be bound.
