 The Corda configuration file uses the HOCON format which is superset of JSON. Please visit

+Node setup will log `Config files should not contain \" in property names. Please fix: [key]` as error

+would be not overwritten by the property `dataSourceProperties.dataSourceClassName = "val2"` in ``node.conf``.
