Hi team,  
I am trying to register my routes and services in kong. I already know the curl based method to register them as shown in the doc here [Services and Routes - Kong Gateway | Kong Docs](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/get-started/services-and-routes/#managing-services).

However, does anyone know any file based method (possibly json) so that all my route and service configuration are loaded from this file and I don’t have to manually call curls.

Found the answer. This is already solved by

> I am aware of Kong Admin APIs where we can create new Service/Route etc. So the whole configuration is based on Admin APIs. Is there a way to load this configuration (create service, user, route etc…) from a file?
