Detailed Description

Config provider is an interface that was made for populating an options dictionary of an instance builder from external sources like a config file, environment variables, or command line arguments. The process of population of the dictionary have to be alligned with rules:

• all keys are set in lowercase. Values are set without case changes.
• if a provider is trying to override an existing value, it has to have the same type. For example provider can not replace integer value with string or object with list
• if a provider is overriding a list, it replaces old list items with a new one.
