Access to configuration without dependency injection : <p>I was wondering if there was a way to access Configuration (Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration) without the use of dependency injection.  Only examples I see are through constructor injection (using IOptions or injecting Configuration directly).  </p>

<p>My dilemma is that I have a utility class-- not a service-- that has static methods to do things on the fly.  In a few of those static methods I would like to retrieve a couple of properties from appsettings.json dynamically.  Since this is strictly a utility class, I don't want have to inject this class into every other class that needs to use a method or two from the utility.</p>

<p>Any ideas on how to access the properties of appsettings.json without some sort of dependency injection.</p>

<p>FYI: using c# and .net core 1.1</p>
