/**
 * The <code>ValueMap</code> is an easy way to access properties of a resource.
 * With resources you can use {@link Resource#getValueMap()} to obtain the
 * value map of a resource. The various getter methods can be used to get the
 * properties of the resource.
 * <p>
 * In addition a value map returned by a resource supports getting of deep
 * values, like get("content/title") which is equivalent to call
 * getChild("content") on the resource, get the value map of that resource
 * and call get("title") - but without requiring to do all the checks.
 * Only the following methods support deep reads: {@link #get(Object)},
 * {@link #get(String, Class)}, {@link #get(String, Object)} and
 * {@link #containsKey(Object)}.
 *
 * A <code>ValueMap</code> should be immutable.
