If deep is set to true, then this will contain all the keys within any child ConfigurationSections (and their children, etc). These will be in a valid path notation for you to use.

If deep is set to false, then this will contain only the keys of any direct children, and not their own children.

Parameters:

deep - Whether or not to get a deep list, as opposed to a shallow list.

Returns:

Set of keys contained within this ConfigurationSection.

getValues

@NotNull
Map<String,Object> getValues(boolean deep)

Gets a Map containing all keys and their values for this section.

If deep is set to true, then this will contain all the keys and values within any child ConfigurationSections (and their children, etc). These keys will be in a valid path notation for you to use.

If deep is set to false, then this will contain only the keys and values of any direct children, and not their own children.

Parameters:

deep - Whether or not to get a deep list, as opposed to a shallow list.

Returns:

Map of keys and values of this section.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - Thrown when path is null.

contains

boolean contains(@NotNull
                 String path,
                 boolean ignoreDefault)

Checks if this ConfigurationSection contains the given path.

If the value for the requested path does not exist, the boolean parameter of true has been specified, a default value for the path exists, this will return true.

If a boolean parameter of false has been specified, true will only be returned if there is a set value for the specified path.

Parameters:

path - Path to check for existence.
