In this section, you will learn how to write data to properties file.
The properties file is basically used to store the configuration data or settings.It stores the data in key-value pair. Java has provide Properties class to store data into .properties file. It consists of a hashtable data structure of String keys with a String value for each key. Here we are going to create a .properties file and write data to it in the form of key-value.
In the given example, we have created an object of Properties class and put three key/value pairs within the Properties object using the setProperty() method. The store method of the Properties class is then store the Properties object to the file.
Example:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class WritePropertiesFile {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("Natinal-Animal", "Tiger");
properties.setProperty("Natinal-Flower", "Lotus");
properties.setProperty("National-Bird", "Peacock");
File file = new File("file.properties");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
properties.store(fos, "");
fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e){
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
