Different children type in section

[steveb05]

I have a similar situation, where I want to allow the end user to specify a list of entities, in the config I have global values specified at the beginning, and optionally values that are per-mob. My solution is this following:

mob-modifier:
  percentage-drop: 50.0
  range-drop: 10-30
  mob-list:
    - PIG
    - ZOMBIE:
        percentage-drop: 50.0
        range-drop: 10-30

Except I have the following problem. When I want to iterate for all values, I usually use childrenMap() or childrenList(), something like this:

for (final Object entityTypeKey : mobListNode.childrenMap().keySet()) {
  final EntityType entityType = EntityType.valueOf(mobListNode.node(entityTypeKey));
}

problem that in this case there are both types, and I don't know how to get the values, any idea how to do that?

there aren't both types, that's a list of maps

I expressed myself wrongly, however, you are right, I can iterate in the list by doing directly like this:

for (final ConfigurationNode configurationNodeList : mobListNode.childrenList()) {
  if (configurationNodeList.isMap()) {
    for (final Object entityTypeKey : configurationNodeList.childrenMap().keySet()) {
      EntityType.valueOf((String) entityTypeKey);
    }
  } else {
    EntityType.valueOf(configurationNodeList.getString());
  }
}

Sorry for the bother
