Interface Properties

All Superinterfaces:

Containable, Dictionary<String,String>, Keys<String,String>

All Known Subinterfaces:

Properties.ClearableProperties, Properties.MutableProperties, Properties.PropertiesBuilder

All Known Implementing Classes:

PropertiesImpl, PropertiesImpl.MutablePropertiesImpl, PropertiesImpl.PropertiesBuilderImpl

public interface Properties
extends Dictionary<String,String>

The Properties are a specialization of the Dictionary. As the name says its on a String pairs key/value collection as properties usually occur in pure text form to be converted to the required data types. For this reason, the Properties interface provides additional conversion methods.
