```
public abstract class ConfigurationOptions
extends Object
```
This object is a holder for general configuration options.
This is meant to hold options that are used in configuring how the configuration data structures are handled, rather than the serialization configuration which is located in ConfigurationLoaders.

This class is immutable.

  - defaults
```
public static ConfigurationOptions defaults()
```
    Get the default set of options. This may be overridden by your chosen configuration loader, so when building configurations it is recommended to access AbstractConfigurationLoader.Builder#getDefaultOptions() instead.
    
    Returns:
    
    the default options
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - mapFactory
```
public abstract MapFactory mapFactory()
```
    Gets the MapFactory specified in these options.
    
    Returns:
    
    the map factory
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - mapFactory
```
public ConfigurationOptions mapFactory(MapFactory mapFactory)
```
    Creates a new ConfigurationOptions instance, with the specified MapFactory set, and all other settings copied from this instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapFactory - the new factory to use to create a map
    
    Returns:
    
    the new options object
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - header
```
public abstract @Nullable String header()
```
    Gets the header specified in these options.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current header. Lines are split by \n, with no trailing newline
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - header
```
public ConfigurationOptions header(@Nullable String header)
```
    Creates a new ConfigurationOptions instance, with the specified header set, and all other settings copied from this instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    header - the new header to use
    
    Returns:
    
    the new options object
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - serializers
```
public abstract TypeSerializerCollection serializers()
```
    Gets the TypeSerializerCollection specified in these options.
    
    Returns:
    
    the type serializers
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - serializers
```
public ConfigurationOptions serializers(TypeSerializerCollection serializers)
```
    Creates a new ConfigurationOptions instance, with the specified TypeSerializerCollection set, and all other settings copied from this instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    serializers - the serializers to use
    
    Returns:
    
    the new options object
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - serializers
```
public final ConfigurationOptions serializers(Consumer<TypeSerializerCollection.Builder> serializerBuilder)
```
    Creates a new ConfigurationOptions instance, with a new TypeSerializerCollection created as a child of this options' current collection. The provided function will be called with the builder for this new collection to allow registering more type serializers.
    
    Parameters:
    
    serializerBuilder - accepts a builder for the collection that will be used in the returned options object.
    
    Returns:
    
    the new options object

  - nativeTypes
```
public ConfigurationOptions nativeTypes(@Nullable Set<Class<?>> nativeTypes)
```
    Creates a new ConfigurationOptions instance, with the specified native types set, and all other settings copied from this instance.
    Native types are format-dependent, and must be provided by a configuration loader's default options
    
    Null indicates that all types are accepted.
    
    Parameters:

    type - the type to check
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the type is accepted
    
    Since:

  - shouldCopyDefaults
```
public abstract boolean shouldCopyDefaults()
```
    Gets whether or not default parameters provided to ConfigurationNode getter methods should be set to the node when used.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether defaults should be copied into value
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - shouldCopyDefaults
```
public ConfigurationOptions shouldCopyDefaults(boolean shouldCopyDefaults)
```
    Creates a new ConfigurationOptions instance, with the specified 'copy defaults' setting set, and all other settings copied from this instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    shouldCopyDefaults - whether to copy defaults
    
    Returns:
    
    updated options object

  - implicitInitialization
```
public abstract boolean implicitInitialization()
```
    Get whether values should be implicitly initialized.
    When this is true, any value get operations will return an empty value rather than null. This extends through to fields loaded into object-mapped classes.
    
    This option is disabled by default
    
    Returns:
    
    if implicit initialization is enabled.
