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