### Dump and load properties from file

Source: https://javaproperties.readthedocs.io

Writes properties to a file and reads them back using file-like objects.

```python
>>> with open('example.properties', 'w', encoding='latin-1') as fp:
...     javaproperties.dump(properties, fp)
...
>>> with open('example.properties', 'r', encoding='latin-1') as fp:
...     javaproperties.load(fp)
...
{'goat': '🐐', 'host:port': '127.0.0.1:80', 'key': 'value', 'snowman': '☃'}
```

--------------------------------

### Sort properties keys

Source: https://javaproperties.readthedocs.io

Outputs the properties with keys sorted alphabetically.

```python
>>> print(javaproperties.dumps(properties, sort_keys=True))
#Mon Sep 26 14:57:44 EDT 2016
goat=\ud83d\udc10
host\:port=127.0.0.1\:80
key=value
snowman=\u2603

```

--------------------------------

### Dump properties to string

Source: https://javaproperties.readthedocs.io

Converts a dictionary of properties into a Java properties formatted string.

```python
>>> properties = {"key": "value", "host:port": "127.0.0.1:80", "snowman": "☃", "goat": "🐐"}
>>> print(javaproperties.dumps(properties))
#Mon Sep 26 14:57:44 EDT 2016
key=value
goat=\ud83d\udc10
host\:port=127.0.0.1\:80
snowman=\u2603

```

--------------------------------

### Dump properties as XML

Source: https://javaproperties.readthedocs.io

Serializes the properties dictionary into the Java XML properties format.

```python
>>> print(javaproperties.dumps_xml(properties))
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties>
<entry key="key">value</entry>
<entry key="goat">🐐</entry>
<entry key="host:port">127.0.0.1:80</entry>

High-level functions for reading and writing XML-formatted Java .properties files.

```APIDOC
## XML .properties Functions

### Description
Functions for serializing and deserializing XML-formatted .properties files.

### Functions
- **dump_xml(props, fp)** - Writes properties to a file-like object in XML format.
- **dumps_xml(props)** - Returns properties as an XML string.
- **load_xml(fp)** - Reads properties from an XML file-like object.
- **loads_xml(s)** - Reads properties from an XML string.
```

--------------------------------

### Load properties from string

Source: https://javaproperties.readthedocs.io

Parses a Java properties formatted string into a Python dictionary.

```python
>>> javaproperties.loads('''
... #Mon Sep 26 14:57:44 EDT 2016
... key = value
... goat: \\ud83d\\udc10
... host\\:port=127.0.0.1:80
... #foo = bar
... snowman   ☃
... ''')
{'goat': '🐐', 'host:port': '127.0.0.1:80', 'key': 'value', 'snowman': '☃'}
```

--------------------------------

### Dump Unicode without escaping

Source: https://javaproperties.readthedocs.io

Outputs Unicode characters directly instead of using escape sequences.

```python
>>> print(javaproperties.dumps(properties, ensure_ascii=False))
#Tue Feb 25 19:13:27 EST 2020
key=value
goat=🐐
host\:port=127.0.0.1\:80
snowman=☃

```

--------------------------------

### Set custom timestamp

Source: https://javaproperties.readthedocs.io

Uses a specific Unix timestamp for the properties header.

```python
>>> print(javaproperties.dumps(properties, timestamp=1234567890))
#Fri Feb 13 18:31:30 EST 2009
key=value
goat=\ud83d\udc10
host\:port=127.0.0.1\:80
snowman=\u2603

```

--------------------------------

### Disable timestamp in output

Source: https://javaproperties.readthedocs.io

Removes the timestamp header from the generated properties string.

```python
>>> print(javaproperties.dumps(properties, timestamp=None))
key=value
goat=\ud83d\udc10
host\:port=127.0.0.1\:80
snowman=\u2603

```
