Parse properties to Map<String, Object>

[CarltonX]

When I want to parse properties into Map<String, Object>, the result is not what I want

Code like :

JavaPropsMapper mapper = JacksonMapperHolder.getJavaPropsMapper();

Map<String, Object> result =   mapper.readValue("level1=value1\nlevel1.level2=value2", new TypeReference<Map<String, Object>>() {});

result is

but i think it will be

{"level1":"value1","level1.level2":"value2"}

I'm not sure if such a result is correct

Input is somewhat problematic because for value level1 you would try to add both String value value AND Object value that contains entry level2. So what I would probably except would actually be something like:

{ "level1" : 
    { "level2" : "value" }
}

because second entry would replace first one
