public interface Properties
extends org.refcodes.structure.CanonicalMap

The Properties are a specialization of the Dictionary. Properties represent a collection of String key and String value pairs 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.

Method Detail

getDelimiter

default char getDelimiter()

Returns the default path delimiter as of Delimiter.PATH.

Specified by:

getDelimiter in interface org.refcodes.mixin.DelimiterAccessor

getType

default java.lang.Class<java.lang.String> getType()

Specified by:

getType in interface org.refcodes.mixin.TypeAccessor<java.lang.String>

toProperties

default java.util.Properties toProperties()

This method creates a Properties instance from this Properties instance's elements (key/value-pairs) as of interoperability reasons.

Returns:

A Properties object from the herein contained key/value-pairs .

containsValue

default boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object value)

Specified by:

containsValue in interface org.refcodes.structure.CanonicalMap

Specified by:

containsValue in interface org.refcodes.structure.Keys<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>

toMap

default java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> toMap()

This method creates a Map instance from this Properties instance's elements (key/value-pairs) as of interoperability reasons.

Specified by:

toMap in interface org.refcodes.structure.PathMap<java.lang.String>

Returns:

A Map object from the herein contained key/value-pairs .

toPropertyPath

default java.lang.String toPropertyPath(java.lang.String aPath)

Converts the properties for saving; that when saved, them properties will not start with a delimiter, making them (when there are no sub-paths for the properties) look just like normal well known properties, enabling interchangeability with other systems reading the properties.

Parameters:

aPath - The path to be normalized.

Returns:

The normalized path; afterwards it does not start with a delimiter any more.
