/**
 * The Properties class represents a persistent set of
 * properties. The Properties can be saved to a stream
 * or loaded from a stream. Each key and its corresponding value in
 * the property list is a string.
 * 

* A property list can contain another property list as its * "defaults"; this second property list is searched if * the property key is not found in the original property list. *

* Because Properties inherits from Hashtable, the * put and putAll methods can be applied to a * Properties object. Their use is strongly discouraged as they * allow the caller to insert entries whose keys or values are not * Strings. The setProperty method should be used * instead. If the store or save method is called * on a "compromised" Properties object that contains a * non-String key or value, the call will fail. Similarly, * the call to the propertyNames or list method * will fail if it is called on a "compromised" Properties * object that contains a non-String key. * *

* The {@link #load(java.io.Reader) load(Reader)} / * {@link #store(java.io.Writer, java.lang.String) store(Writer, String)} * methods load and store properties from and to a character based stream * in a simple line-oriented format specified below. * * The {@link #load(java.io.InputStream) load(InputStream)} / * {@link #store(java.io.OutputStream, java.lang.String) store(OutputStream, String)} * methods work the same way as the load(Reader)/store(Writer, String) pair, except * the input/output stream is encoded in ISO 8859-1 character encoding. * Characters that cannot be directly represented in this encoding can be written using * Unicode escapes * ; only a single 'u' character is allowed in an escape * sequence. The native2ascii tool can be used to convert property files to and * from other character encodings. * *

The {@link #loadFromXML(InputStream)} and {@link * #storeToXML(OutputStream, String, String)} methods load and store properties * in a simple XML format. By default the UTF-8 character encoding is used, * however a specific encoding may be specified if required. An XML properties * document has the following DOCTYPE declaration: * *

 * <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
 * 
* Note that the system URI (http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd) is * not accessed when exporting or importing properties; it merely * serves as a string to uniquely identify the DTD, which is: *
 *    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 *
 *    <!-- DTD for properties -->

* Properties are processed in terms of lines. There are two * kinds of line, natural lines and logical lines. * A natural line is defined as a line of * characters that is terminated either by a set of line terminator * characters (\n or \r or \r\n) * or by the end of the stream. A natural line may be either a blank line, * a comment line, or hold all or some of a key-element pair. A logical * line holds all the data of a key-element pair, which may be spread * out across several adjacent natural lines by escaping * the line terminator sequence with a backslash character * \. Note that a comment line cannot be extended * in this manner; every natural line that is a comment must have * its own comment indicator, as described below. Lines are read from * input until the end of the stream is reached. * *

* A natural line that contains only white space characters is * considered blank and is ignored. A comment line has an ASCII * '#' or '!' as its first non-white * space character; comment lines are also ignored and do not * encode key-element information. In addition to line * terminators, this format considers the characters space * (' ', '\u0020'), tab * ('\t', '\u0009'), and form feed * ('\f', '\u000C') to be white * space. * *

* If a logical line is spread across several natural lines, the * backslash escaping the line terminator sequence, the line * terminator sequence, and any white space at the start of the * following line have no affect on the key or element values. * The remainder of the discussion of key and element parsing * (when loading) will assume all the characters constituting * the key and element appear on a single natural line after * line continuation characters have been removed. Note that * it is not sufficient to only examine the character * preceding a line terminator sequence to decide if the line * terminator is escaped; there must be an odd number of * contiguous backslashes for the line terminator to be escaped. * Since the input is processed from left to right, a * non-zero even number of 2n contiguous backslashes * before a line terminator (or elsewhere) encodes n * backslashes after escape processing. * *

* The key contains all of the characters in the line starting * with the first non-white space character and up to, but not * including, the first unescaped '=', * ':', or white space character other than a line * terminator. All of these key termination characters may be * included in the key by escaping them with a preceding backslash * character; for example,

* * \:\=

* * would be the two-character key ":=". Line * terminator characters can be included using \r and * \n escape sequences. Any white space after the * key is skipped; if the first non-white space character after * the key is '=' or ':', then it is * ignored and any white space characters after it are also * skipped. All remaining characters on the line become part of * the associated element string; if there are no remaining * characters, the element is the empty string * "". Once the raw character sequences * constituting the key and element are identified, escape * processing is performed as described above. * *

* As an example, each of the following three lines specifies the key * "Truth" and the associated element value * "Beauty": *

*

	 * Truth = Beauty
	 *	Truth:Beauty
	 * Truth			:Beauty
	 * 
* As another example, the following three lines specify a single * property: *

*

	 * fruits                           apple, banana, pear, \
	 *                                  cantaloupe, watermelon, \
	 *                                  kiwi, mango
	 * 
* The key is "fruits" and the associated element is: *

*

"apple, banana, pear, cantaloupe, watermelon, kiwi, mango"
* Note that a space appears before each \ so that a space * will appear after each comma in the final result; the \, * line terminator, and leading white space on the continuation line are * merely discarded and are not replaced by one or more other * characters. *

* As a third example, the line: *

*

cheeses
	 * 
* specifies that the key is "cheeses" and the associated * element is the empty string "".

*

* * * Characters in keys and elements can be represented in escape * sequences similar to those used for character and string literals * (see §3.3 * and §3.10.6 * of the Java Language Specification). * * The differences from the character escape sequences and Unicode * escapes used for characters and strings are: * *

    *
  • Octal escapes are not recognized. * *
  • The character sequence \b does not * represent a backspace character. * *
  • The method does not treat a backslash character, * \, before a non-valid escape character as an * error; the backslash is silently dropped. For example, in a * Java string the sequence "\z" would cause a * compile time error. In contrast, this method silently drops * the backslash. Therefore, this method treats the two character * sequence "\b" as equivalent to the single * character 'b'. * *
  • Escapes are not necessary for single and double quotes; * however, by the rule above, single and double quote characters * preceded by a backslash still yield single and double quote * characters, respectively. * *
  • Only a single 'u' character is allowed in a Uniocde escape * sequence. * *
*
