How to pull configuration settings from XML file i

Question

I have a startup.cs file and i want to pull configurations from XML file rather than appsetings.json file. Is it possible with ASP.NET Core MVC?

If you want to use an appsettings.xml instead you can refer to my blog article here.

Quote from the article:

To use XML files, you need to add this NuGet package: Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Xml. I added the 1.0.0 to my project.json and added a appsettings.xml file.

<configuration> <MySettings> <SomeSetting>Test</SomeSetting> <Another>true</Another> </MySettings> </configuration>

I then added it as part of configuration like this:

.AddXmlFile("appsettings.xml", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
