+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Though Tamaya is a very powerful and flexible solution there are basically only a few simple core concepts required
+that build the base of all the other mechanisms:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The API provides these artifacts, which are:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>A simple but complete SE <strong>API</strong> for accessing key/value based <em>Configuration</em>:</p>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><code>Configuration</code> hereby models configuration, the main interface of Tamaya. <code>Configuration</code> provides</p>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>access to literal key/value pairs.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>functional extension points (<code>with,query</code>) based un <code>UnaryOperator&lt;Configuration&gt;</code> (operator) and
+<code>Function&lt;Configuration,T&gt;</code> (query).</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>ConfigurationProvider</code> provides the static entry point for accessing configuration.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>ConfigProvider</code> provides static access to the current <code>Configuration</code> (default configuration)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>ConfigException</code> defines a runtime exception for usage by the configuration system.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>PropertyConverter</code>, which defines conversion of String values into any required target types.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><code>TypeLiteral</code> provides a possibility to type safe define the target type to be returned by a registered
+<code>PropertyProvider</code>.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Additionally the <strong>SPI</strong> provides:</p>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><em>PropertySource:</em> is the the SPI for adding configuration data. A <code>PropertySource</code>
+hereby</p>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>is designed as a minimalistic data interface to be implemented by any kind of data providers (local or remote)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>provides data key/value pairs in raw format as String key/values only</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>can optionally support scanning of its provided values</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>

+<p>Basically configuration is a very generic concept. Therefore it should be modelled in a generic way. The most simple
+and most commonly used approach are simple literal key/value pairs. So the core building block of Tamaya are key/value pairs.
+You can think of a common <code>.properties</code> file, e.g.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="title">A simple properties file</div>
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="properties">a.b.c=cVal

+a.b2=abVal</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Now you can use <code>java.util.Properties</code> to read this file and access the corresponding properties, e.g.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="CodeRay highlight"><code data-lang="properties">Properties props = new Properties();

+<h4 id="_why_using_strings_only">1.3.1. Why Using Strings Only</h4>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>There are good reason to keep of non String-values as core storage representation of configuration. Mostly
+there are several huge advantages:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Strings are simple to understand</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Strings are human readable and therefore easy to prove for correctness</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Strings can easily be used within different language, different VMs, files or network communications.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Strings can easily be compared and manipulated</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Strings can easily be searched, indexed and cached</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>It is very easy to provide Strings as configuration, which gives much flexibility for providing configuration in
+production as well in testing.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>and more&#8230;&#8203;</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>On the other side there are also disadvantages:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Strings are inherently not type safe, they do not provide validation out of the box for special types, such as
+numbers, dates etc.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>In many cases you want to access configuration in a typesafe way avoiding conversion to the target types explicitly
+throughout your code.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Strings are neither hierarchical nor multi-valued, so mapping hierarchical and collection structures requires some
+extra efforts.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Nevertheless most of these advantages can be mitigated easily, hereby still keeping all the benefits from above:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Adding type safe adapters on top of String allow to add any type easily, that can be directly mapped out of Strings.
+This includes all common base types such as numbers, dates, time, but also timezones, formatting patterns and more.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Also multi-valued, complex and collection types can be defined as a corresponding <code>PropertyAdapter</code> knows how to
+parse and create the target instance required.</p>
+</li>
