5 // This file specifies a recursive data storage class called Value
6 // intended for storing setting and other persistable data.
7 // It includes the ability to specify (recursive) lists and dictionaries, so
8 // it's fairly expressive.  However, the API is optimized for the common case,
9 // namely storing a hierarchical tree of simple values.  Given a
10 // DictionaryValue root, you can easily do things like:
11 //
12 // root->SetString(L"global.pages.homepage", L"http://goateleporter.com");
13 // std::wstring homepage = L"http://google.com";  // default/fallback value
14 // root->GetString(L"global.pages.homepage", &homepage);
15 //
16 // where "global" and "pages" are also DictionaryValues, and "homepage"
17 // is a string setting.  If some elements of the path didn't exist yet,
18 // the SetString() method would create the missing elements and attach them
19 // to root before attaching the homepage value.
