load

public static final void load(java.util.Map<? super java.lang.String,? super java.lang.String> map,
        java.io.InputStream sm,
        java.lang.String charset,
        boolean caseInsensitive)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Reads a property list (key and element pairs) from the input stream, by specifying the charset.

Like java.util.Properties, it translates \\u, \n, \r, \t and \f. However, it enhanced Properties as follows.

• It accepts any charset, not just 8859-1.
• It uses a different syntax to let value spread over multiple lines, described below.
• Whitespace is trimmed around '=' and at the beginning of the key and the ending of the value.
• Illegal lines are ignored (Properties.load considers it as a key with an empty value).
• Only '=' is accepted as the separator of key and value.
• Only '#' is accepted as comment lines.

To spread a value over multiple lines, you could, unlike java.util.Properties.load, append '{' to the end of a line. Then, all the following lines are considered as part of a value, unless encountering a line containing only one '}'.
Example:

abc = {
line 1
line 2
}
xyz = {
line 1
line 2
}

Moreover, you could prefix a group of keys with certain prefix:

org.zkoss.some. {
 a = aaa
 b = bbb
}

It actually defines two keys: "org.zkoss.some.a" and "org.zkoss.some.b".

Note: (1) whitespace in the {...} block are all preserved.
(2) if only whitespaces is between '=' and '{', they are ignored.

Parameters:

charset - the charset; if null, it detects UTF-16 BOM (0xfe 0xff or 0xff 0xfe). If no UTF-16 BOM, UTF-8 is always assumed. Note 1: UTF-8's BOM (0xef 0xbb 0xbf) is optional, so we don't count on it. Note 2: ISO-8859-1 is not used because we cannot tell its difference from UTF-8 (while some of our properties files are in UTF-8).

caseInsensitive - whether the key used to access the map is case-insensitive. If true, all keys are converted to lower cases.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Parse a string into a map.

If = is omitted, whether it is considered as a key with the null value or a value with the null key depends on the asValue argument. If true, it is considered as a value with the null key.

For example, if the following string is parsed with asValue=false:
a12=12,b3,c6=abc=125,x=y

Then, a map with the following content is returned:
("a12", "12"), ("b3", null), ("c6", "abc=125"), ("x", "y")

Notice: only the first = after separator is meaningful, so you don't have to escape the following =.

Beside specifying the quote character, you could use backslash quote a single character (as Java does).

Parameters:

map - the map to put parsed results to; null to create a new hash map.

src - the string to parse

pairSeparator - the separator of key and value, e.g., '=' or ':'.

separator - the separator, e.g., ' ' or ','.

quote - the quote character to surround the value. Ignored if quote is (char)0.
Since 3.6.0: if quote is (char)1, then both ' and " are accepted.
For example, a1='b c' will generate a map entry, ("a1", "b c") if quote is '\''.
Note: the quote is taken off before storing to the map.
Note: the quote can not be used to surround the name

asValue - whether to consider the substring without = as a value (with the null key), or as a key (with the null value) For example, a12 is considered as a key if asValue is false. However, if you surround it with a quote, it is always considered as a value. For example, 'a12' is considered as a value no matter asValue is true or not.

parenthesis - whether to parse parenthesis in the value, {}, () and []. If true, the separator is ignored inside the parenthesis. Specify true if the value might contain EL expressions. Note: it has no effect to the name.

Returns:

the map being generated.

Throws:

IllegalSyntaxException - if syntax errors

7.0.1

Parse a string into a map that allows multiple values.

Unlike parse(java.util.Map<? super java.lang.String, ? super java.lang.String>, java.lang.String, char, char), it assumes there might be multiple values. Thus, the value of the map is a collection of String instances. For example, src is a1=x,a1=y, then the value for a1 is a list with two values, "x" and "y".

If = is omitted, whether it is considered as a key with the null value or a value with the null key depends on the asValue argument. If true, it is considered as a value with the null key.

For example, if the following string is parsed with asValue=false:
a12=12,b3,c6=abc=125,x=y

Then, a map with the following content is returned:
("a12", "12"), ("b3", null), ("c6", "abc=125"), ("x", "y")

Notice: only the first = after separator is meaningful, so you don't have to escape the following =.

Beside specifying the quote character, you could use backslash quote a single character (as Java does).

Parameters:

map - the map to put parsed results to; null to create a new hash map.

src - the string to parse

pairSeparator - the separator of key and value, e.g., '=' or ':'.

separator - the separator, e.g., ' ' or ','.

quote - the quote character to surround the value. Ignored if quote is (char)0.
Since 3.6.0: if quote is (char)1, then both ' and " are accepted.
For example, a1='b c' will generate a map entry, ("a1", "b c") if quote is '\''.
Note: the quote is taken off before storing to the map.
Note: the quote can not be used to surround the name

asValue - whether to consider the substring without = as a value (with the null key), or as a key (with the null value) For example, a12 is considered as a key if asValue is false. However, if you surround it with a quote, it is always considered as a value. For example, 'a12' is considered as a value no matter asValue is true or not.

parenthesis - whether to parse parenthesis in the value, {}, () and []. If true, the separator is ignored inside the parenthesis. Specify true if the value might contain EL expressions. Note: it has no effect to the name.

Returns:

the map being generated. The value of the map is a list of String objects (List<String>).

Throws:

IllegalSyntaxException - if syntax errors
