Description

My company use inner config object with typeSafe config, we often use HOCON format to edit config file. But apollo only support yml/yaml/properties/json. We must first convert HOCON to json, and then poll apollo. Can apollo support HOCON format？

Research direction
Investigate the HOCON format specification and understand how Apollo currently parses YAML, JSON, and properties files (likely in the ConfigFileFormat/ConfigFile classes). Look at existing format parsers in the codebase and implement a new parser for HOCON. Ensure integration with the existing configuration pipeline.
