All Known Implementing Classes:

PropertyValue.BytesStore, PropertyValue.SealedStore, PropertyValue.StringStore

public interface PropertyValue

An interface through which (textual) property values can be stored in memory as something other than String and using various techniques for obfuscating the value and to make it harder to access the values via a heap dump etc.
