libproperties
=============
A simple library to parse properties. The rules for the format are as follows:
* Entries are generally expected to be a single line of the form, one of the
following:
* propertyName=propertyValue
* propertyName:propertyValue
* White space that appears between the property name and property value is
ignored, so the following are equivalent.
* name=Stephen
* name = Stephen
White space at the beginning of the line is also ignored.
* Lines that start with the comment characters `!` or `#` are ignored. Blank
lines are also ignored.
* A property value can span several lines if each line is terminated by a
backslash (‘\’) character. For example:
```
targetCities=\
Detroit,\
Chicago,\
Los Angeles
```
This is equivalent to `targetCities=Detroit,Chicago,Los Angeles` (white space
at the beginning of lines is ignored).
* The characters _newline_, _carriage return_, and _tab_ can be inserted with
characters `\n`, `\r`, and `\t`, respectively.
* The backslash character must be escaped as a double backslash. For example:
```
path=c:\\docs\\doc1
```
* UNICODE characters can be entered as they are in a Java program, using the
`\u` prefix. For example, `\u002c`.
## TODOs
* Able to write comments with `!` symbol.
* Multiline values.
* `\u` prefix.
