# Configuration File

## Configuration File

The Safran API comes with a file where you can adjust and configure the behavior of the Safran API.

### application.json

This is the current configuration file for the Safran API.

          web.config

          

This implementation also has a web.config file, and it needs to be left as is.

Here is a sample file of the needed application.json file.

**appsettings.json file**

    

```

  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"

    }
  }
}
```

  

### web.config

This used to be the configuration file prior moving to .Net Core. This file is no longer used. Your settings need to be moved to the new file “[Application.json](/v1/docs/configuration-file#applicationjson)”. This is only valid for version 7.3 and earlier. Here is a sample file of the web.config file.

**web.config file**
