title: HikariCP Address Specification and Documentation
body: <p>So, after searching Google and Github for answers, I'm left confounded as to how most people know how to use HikariCP. I can't seem to find any straight up documentation on HikariCP.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: how do I specify the host address without a JDBC URL? The <a href="https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP#configuration-knobs-baby" rel="nofollow noreferrer">main page of HikariCP</a> on Github clearly says that JDBC URL specification is optional and instead to simply use HikariConfig#setDataSourceClassName(String). However, I'm confused then as to how I would specify my address and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Like with SQLite, where do I specify the path to where the database file should go?</p>
  
  <p>This is the code I currently have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>final HikariConfig hikariConfig = new HikariConfig();
  hikariConfig.setPoolName("SQLite");
  hikariConfig.setDataSourceClassName("org.sqlite.SQLiteDataSource");
  
  HikariDataSource ds = new HikariDataSource(hikariConfig);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I was to not use HikariCP I would simply specify the JDBC URL like such:
  <code>jdbc:sqlite:path/to/database.db</code>. However, how do you do this without using a JDBC URL?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
