Configuration files are commonly used to specify application settings and hardware configuration. Manual editing of some of the complex configuration files of hardware systems or applications are often error prone. Shipping a configuration editor can ease the pain but development overheads may outweigh the benefits. Configuration Editor Framework (CEF) from NI Systems Engineering is a versatile framework allowing rapid development of such editors. Development generally take hours instead of days or weeks. This presentation delves in to the features and walks through an example which saves the files in JSON format.
