Java properties for Rust

This is a library for reading and writing Java properties files in Rust. The specification is taken from the Properties documentation. Where the documentation is ambiguous or incomplete, behavior is based on the behavior of java.util.Properties.

Example

use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::env::temp_dir;
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::BufReader;
use std::io::BufWriter;
use std::io::prelude::*;

let mut file_name = temp_dir();
file_name.push("java-properties-test.properties");

// Writing
let mut map1 = HashMap::new();
map1.insert("a".to_string(), "b".to_string());
let mut f = File::create(&file_name)?;
write(BufWriter::new(f), &map1)?;

// Reading
let mut f = File::open(&file_name)?;
let map2 = read(BufReader::new(f))?;
assert_eq!(src_map1, dst_map1);
