  - merge
```
Configuration<T> merge(Configuration<T> config1,
                       Configuration<T> config2,
                       net.obvj.jsonmerge.JsonMergeOption... mergeOptions)
```
    Combines two Configuration objects into a new Configuration.
    The resulting object will receive all the elements of both input objects. In case of conflicting keys, the values at the highest-precedence Configuration will be selected.
    The metadata of the highest-precedence Configuration (namespace and precedence) will be applied to the new Configuration.
    
    Parameters:
    
    config1 - the first Configuration; not null
    
    config2 - the second Configuration; not null
    
    mergeOptions - an array of options on how to merge JSON objects (optional)
    
    Returns:
    
    a new Configuration resulting from the combination of config1 and config2
