/**
* Strategy interface for persisting <code>java.util.Properties</code>,
* allowing for pluggable parsing strategies.
*
* <p>The default implementation is DefaultPropertiesPersister,
* providing the native parsing of <code>java.util.Properties</code>,
* but allowing for reading from any Reader and writing to any Writer
* (which allows to specify an encoding for a properties file).
*
* <p>As of Spring 1.2.2, this interface also supports properties XML files,
* through the <code>loadFromXml</code> and <code>storeToXml</code> methods.
* The default implementations delegate to JDK 1.5's corresponding methods.
