Add ability to configure APIs using a config file

[mingfang]

Currently we can use the cli or REST api to configure APIs.
I need to be able to do the same but using a file, preferably JSON or YML.

There is only REST to configure APIs right now. This is something I've been wanting too but as of today I am not sure it is worth the time and effort. The possible configurations might be too complex to be described easily in a simple file.

Hey @mingfang we had exactly the same problem so we have now released Kongfig https://github.com/mybuilder/kongfig which does exactly what you want.

Closing this since kongfig already seems to provide a way of doing this.

I've written a new CLI tool to manage the config with JSON files these days, you can have a try :D

@Maples7 Nice! Have you thought of maybe announcing that tool on our community mailing list?

[Maples7]

@thibaultcha Sounds good! I'll do that~ 😃
