# 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.
