public class PropertyListConfiguration extends BaseHierarchicalConfiguration implements FileBasedConfiguration
NeXT / OpenStep style configuration. This configuration can read and write ASCII plist files. It supports the GNUStep extension to specify date objects.

Example:

     {
         foo = "bar";

         array = ( value1, value2, value3 );

         data = <4f3e0145ab>;

         date = <*D2007-05-05 20:05:00 +0100>;

         nested =
         {
             key1 = value1;
             key2 = value;
             nested =
             {
                 foo = bar
             }
         }

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### PropertyListConfiguration

    public PropertyListConfiguration()
    Creates an empty PropertyListConfiguration object which can be used to synthesize a new plist file by adding values and then saving().

  - ### PropertyListConfiguration

    public PropertyListConfiguration(HierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode> c)
    Creates a new instance of `PropertyListConfiguration` and copies the content of the specified configuration into this object.
    Parameters:
      `c` - the configuration to copy
    Since:
      1.4

- ## Method Details

  - ### addPropertyInternal

    protected void addPropertyInternal(String key, Object value)
    Description copied from class: `AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration`
    Adds the property with the specified key. This task will be delegated to the associated `ExpressionEngine`, so the passed in key must match the requirements of this implementation.
    Overrides:
      `addPropertyInternal` in class `AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>`
    Parameters:
      `key` - the key of the new property
      `value` - the value of the new property

  - ### read

    public void read(Reader in) throws ConfigurationException
    Description copied from interface: `FileBased`
    Reads the content of this object from the given reader. Client code should not call this method directly, but use a `FileHandler` for reading data.
    Specified by:
      `read` in interface `FileBased`
    Parameters:
      `in` - the reader
    Throws:
      `ConfigurationException` - if a non-I/O related problem occurs, for example the data read does not have the expected format

  - ### setPropertyInternal

    protected void setPropertyInternal(String key, Object value)
    Description copied from class: `AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration`
    Sets the value of the specified property.
    Overrides:
      `setPropertyInternal` in class `AbstractHierarchicalConfiguration<ImmutableNode>`
    Parameters:
      `key` - the key of the property to set
      `value` - the new value of this property

  - ### write

    public void write(Writer out) throws ConfigurationException
    Description copied from interface: `FileBased`
    Writes the content of this object to the given writer. Client code should not call this method directly, but use a `FileHandler` for writing data.
    Specified by:
      `write` in interface `FileBased`
    Parameters:
      `out` - the writer
    Throws:
      `ConfigurationException` - if a non-I/O related problem occurs, for example the data read does not have the expected format
