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. 20 21 #ifndef BASE_VALUES_H_ 22 #define BASE_VALUES_H_ 23 24 #include <iterator> 25 #include <map> 26 #include <string> 27 #include <vector> 28 29 #include "base/basictypes.h" 30 #include "base/string16.h" 31 #include "build/build_config.h" 32 33 class Value; 34 class FundamentalValue; 35 class StringValue; 36 class BinaryValue; 37 class DictionaryValue; 38 class ListValue; 39 40 typedef std::vector<Value*> ValueVector; 41 typedef std::map<std::wstring, Value*> ValueMap; 42 43 // The Value class is the base class for Values.
