  jcckit.util.ConfigParameters

public class ConfigParameters

extends java.lang.Object

Read-only class for hierarchically organized key-value pairs. The key is always a string. The following value types are supported:

• String
• boolean
• int
• double
• double[]
• Color
• ConfigParameters

In accordance with the Strategy design pattern the retrieval of a key-value pair is delegated to an instance of ConfigData.
