I just fired up a Nuget version of 8.0.2 and installed the starter kit, but I can't find the umbraco.config inside App_Data. I forced some settings which should have ensured it gets created, but still can't see it:
With thanks to Warren's work, my nuget package can now read and analyse both the umbraco.config (v4/v6/v7) and the NuCache.content.db (v8.0.1 and later).
This package makes it easy to write simple C# code that runs custom analysis over the content and check for missing values in properties, or to count articles by doctype, or to create reports based on content.
I did find that Warren's great work at only works against the NuCache v8.0.0 schema, due to a binary change to the database in March 2019 that broke Warren's tool (although it's easy enough to fix).
Where is umbraco.config in v8?
Looking at Umbraco 8 and what it would take to switch to it over from v7.
As a long time user (since v4), I've often relied on the umbraco.config file to run custom parsing over the file for reporting or analysis. In fact I wrote a nuget package to do that: https://www.nuget.org/packages/RecursiveMethod.UmbracoXmlParser

What gives? Does Umbraco not use an XML cache anymore?
Thanks, Adam.
Hi Adam,
No it does not. It uses NuCache which is a local store, this saves time and resources on database calls etc.

if you really need some insights into the cache, have a look at this tool https://creativewebspecialist.co.uk/2018/07/30/peek-inside-umbraco-v8-nucache-files-with-the-nucache-explorer-tool/
If you want to, there is still a way to execute XPath queries against NuCache.

Thank you both Carl and Søren. I'll check out NuCache, and maybe add support to my nuget package for it.
Cheers, Adam.
