Configuration
==============================

The Configuration module allows integrators to view and validate the global
configuration of TYPO3. The module displays all relevant global variables such
as TYPO3_CONF_VARS, TCA and many more, in a tree format which is easy to browse
through. Over time this module got extended to also display the configuration of
newly introduced features like the middleware stack or the event listeners.
