Property (Java API)

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<Property>

All Known Implementing Classes:

PropertyCfg
```
public interface Property
extends java.lang.Comparable<Property>
```
A property is a combination of a key and a value pair that a user can provide either when starting or running an application. Properties should be configured and read using a property provider.
NOTE: There are no spaces between the equals sign and the values; this is done to avoid incorrect command line parsing when the property is given as a command line argument. If a value contains a blank, the whole pair must be enclosed within quotation marks.
Example:
```
  de.mid.xyz=value
  de.mid.innovator.inohost=host.9000 "de.mid.innovator.model=MID Demo"
 
```
