Storing application configuration/options. Database, xml file, json file?

Hi all.

I'm looking in to the best way to store user configuration/options for my companies applications. I'm leaning towards just storing options in a JSON file, but I'm very naive on the topic and am interested in any informed opinions as to what actually makes sense. applinked.me

I really appreciate any advice.

Cheers!

Hi @malina_authur,

Are you using Refinitiv product to build this application? You mention Java and Javascript - almost any option can be used. Industry best practice for configuration store depends on the programming language that you are using.
