Role of appsettings.json, appsettings.Development.json, etc.?

• appsettings.json: Base configuration file used across all environments.
• appsettings.{Environment}.json: Environment-specific overrides (e.g.,

Development, Production).

🔧 ASP.NET Core loads them automatically based on the environment:

ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development

✅ Loaded in order of precedence, where later files override earlier ones.
