Saving a Hashmap to config.yml

Hello everyone!

I just can't find how to save this hasmap in my config.yml

public static Map<String , String> commands = new HashMap<String, String>();

Please help me

 

That works! how do i load it back in?

 

I have not, how would i use this to put every element in the hashmap?

 

System.out.println(getConfig().getConfigurationSection("location").getKeys(false));
this returns []

 

i really don't know how to do this...

 

config.get("path.to.value"); and cast to HashMap

 

So this is my config atm
location:
hello: test
would i do config.get("location?");
(the hello:test is suppost to be in location)

 

Are you sure there is no way of doing this

 

location:

test: give @p stone​

It puts the text on a sign and a command in a hashmap
so when you right click a sign with that text it executes that command

 

how do i know i got a key instead of a value

 

So config.get(value) and then config.get(key) and put them both in a hashmap?

 

config.get(value) what am i suppost to put instead of value

 

@timtower
Set<String> keys = config.getConfigurationSection("location").getKeys(false);
for (String s : keys) {

System.out.println(s);​

}

This returns the keys, how do i do the values

@timtower
i figured it out!
Map<String, Object> values = config.getConfigurationSection("location").getValues(true);
thanks for your help!
