# get ## Description Echoes configuration stored in Cauldron. ## Syntax `ern cauldron config get` **Options** `--key` * The configuration key for which to retrieve value * **Default** Will return the whole configuration object `--descriptor` * The target descriptor which to retrieve configuration from **Default** Returns the top level / global configuration, not associated to a specific descriptor `--json` * Output config as a single line JSON record. `--strict` * Echoes the configuration strictly associated to the descriptor **Default** false. If no configuration is found for the specific descriptor, the closest applied configuration will be returned. For example, if a native application version descriptor is provided but no configuration is stored at this level, the command will look for a configuration -until it finds one- in the platform level, then native application and finally top level / global cauldron config. ## Related commands [ern cauldron config set](https://github.com/electrode-io/electrode-native/tree/8f4ff52c49b0e0a325fe976686cd3db01d77c2d0/docs/cli/cauldron/config/set.md) | Sets configuration stored in Cauldron.\ \[ern cauldron config del] | Deletes configuration stored in Cauldron. \[ern cauldron config del]: ./del.md --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
