+// This file specifies a recursive data storage class called Value intended for
+// storing setting and other persistable data. It includes the ability to
+// specify (recursive) lists and dictionaries, so it's fairly expressive.
+// However, the API is optimized for the common case, namely storing a
+// hierarchical tree of simple values. Given a DictionaryValue root, you can
+// easily do things like:
+//
+// root->SetString("global.pages.homepage", "http://goateleporter.com");
+// std::string homepage = "http://google.com"; // default/fallback value
+// root->GetString("global.pages.homepage", &homepage);
+//
+// where "global" and "pages" are also DictionaryValues, and "homepage" is a
+// string setting. If some elements of the path didn't exist yet, the
+// SetString() method would create the missing elements and attach them to root
+// before attaching the homepage value.
