相当于App.config转换.NET Core？

Question

I'm writing a .NET Core console application ( NOT an ASP.NET Core web application). In .NET Framework I would have an App.config , and App.Debug.config , and an App.Release.config file, the latter 2 for transforming the former. This allowed me to change various settings based on whether I was creating a debug or a release build.

Now with .NET Core, you're meant to use appsettings.json instead. Fine, but how do I do my debug and release transforms with this? I've read something about using an environment variable to determine whether you're in a release or debug environment but I really don't want to do this and it's not really appropriate for console applications anyway. So how can I transform config files in a similar way to how it was done in .NET Framework?

The short answer that I found to this is: use SlowCheetah . It implements XDT transformations for .NET Core and in addition allows JSON transformations too with JDT.
