is considered as a comment~ key1. Keys are 1-line strings started with '~'. Leading/trailing whitespaces are removed

Usage

Map<String, String> properties = newMPropsParser().parse(text);

or

Map<String, String> properties = newMPropsParser().parse(newFileReader("path-to-file"));

or with a streaming

newMPropsParser().parse(newFileReader("path-to-file"), newBiConsumer<String, String>(){...});

Using custom key token

// All keys now starts with '>' token: example: "> key \n value".MPropsParserparser = newMPropsParser(">");

Escaping values

To escape any value use starting ' ' (space) character on any value line that starts with key token. This extra leading space will be removed (not-returned) by parser.
