I am now creating a rest api in .net core using visual studio code, is there anyone here knows how to add a app.config or web.config in this setup? or there any equivalent file here in visual studio code.

    This seems a good starting point: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/web-api-vsc?view=aspnetcore-2.1 – Lennart Stoop Aug 08 '18 at 09:05

    There isn't an `app.config`, or a `web.config`. I recommend reading Microsoft's docs on [configuration in .NET Core](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/configuration/?view=aspnetcore-2.1&tabs=basicconfiguration). – ProgrammingLlama Aug 08 '18 at 09:05

You should use .NET Core Configuration API in the Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration package. It's more flexible than .NET Framework app or web.config, for example it allows you to use multiple configuration sources in different formats (JSON and XML included).

Here's a link to Microsoft docs about .NET Core Configuration: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/configuration/?view=aspnetcore-2.1&tabs=basicconfiguration
