FAQ
What is a .properties file?
It is a simple file extension used mainly in Java related technologies to store the configurable parameters of an application. Each parameter is stored as a pair of strings, one storing the name of the parameter (the key), and the other storing the value.
Does it support nested keys?
Yes. A property like `server.port=8080` will be converted to a JSON object `{"server": {"port": "8080"}}`.
