Here is a PHP library to retrieve the properties of a .properties file.
It seems that .properties files are mainly used by Java programs. But you may have also defined a properties file in
a PHP project or would like to use the same file with both languages.
composer require hpeccatte/properties-parser
In a .properties file, property/value can be separated by =, : or a whitespace.
A property can also be defined on multiple lines:
property = value \
which \
is \
multilined
In this case, the property will be property and the value value which is multilined.
You can define comments in your file by starting a line with # or ! characters.
This parser was implemented to try to match as much as possible the behavior defined by the Java Properties Parser.
