Java.util.Properties Class
Java Properties Class
Java.util package provides a Properties class which 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. This class is thread-safe: multiple threads can share a single Properties object without the need for external synchronization.
