Overview Build Status

properties is a Go library for reading and writing properties files.

It supports reading from multiple files and Spring style recursive property expansion of expressions like ${key} to their corresponding value.

Value expressions can refer to other keys like in ${key} or to environment variables like in ${USER}.

Filenames can also contain environment variables like in /home/${USER}/myapp.properties.

The properties library supports both ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 encoded data.
