Detailed Description

Class for storing generic metadata.

This class stores key/value pairs, like a Python dictionary but in C++. Keys are always C++ strings. Values can be C++ primitive data types, strings, lsst::daf::base::DateTime objects, and lsst::daf::base::Persistable subclasses (although the latter is currently discouraged). Values can also be vectors of these items.

PropertySets are hierarchical; values within a PropertySet that is contained within another PropertySet can be addressed using dotted paths ("a.b.c"). If "flat=true" is specified to the constructor, the PropertySet still takes dotted paths but is not actually hierarchical in structure. This is used to support PropertyList.
