Modded/Encoded Entries

The following method can be used to associates entry modifiers to a config:

Config.Buildermods(Mod...)

Mods are used to modify values before being persisted. This can be used to replace or encode sensitive information. They are denoted by a single character that gets appended between angle brackets on the property name (e.g. key).

Multiple modifiers can be denoted by multiple characters (e.g. key) and are applied/removed in the order denoted. The framework comes built-in with a simple xor-encode mod tied to the '*' character.

The following shows how it is used:

[MyHost]
url = http://localhost:9080/foo
user = me
password = {AwwJVhwUQFZEMg==}

Custom encoders can be used to provide your own encoding support by implementing the Mod class.

Modapply(String)remove(String)isApplied(String)

Unmodified values are encoded when the file is saved using the Config.commit() method. They can also be encoded immediately by calling Config.applyMods() which can typically be done during JVM startup to immediately encode any unencoded passwords in the file.
