Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to modifying the functionality of software applications using object-oriented configuration data. In some embodiments, a configuration module may receive, from an application hosted within a server system, a request for configuration data that is usable to modify the manner in which the application performs a computing operation. In some embodiments, the request may specify a particular data object and include contextual information. The configuration may receive, from a configuration service in the server system, a configuration data package that includes a default definition for the particular data object and an override definition for a contextual override of the particular data object. The configuration module may determine, based on the contextual information, that the contextual override applies and return the configuration data, including data from the override definition, to the application.
