If some elements of the path didn't exist yet, the 18 // SetString() method would create the missing elements and attach them to root 19 // before attaching the homepage value. 20 21 #ifndef BASE_VALUES_H_ 22 #define BASE_VALUES_H_ 23 #pragma once 24 25 #include <iterator> 26 #include <map> 27 #include <string> 28 #include <vector> 29 30 #include "base/base_api.h" 31 #include "base/basictypes.h" 32 #include "base/string16.h" 33 #include "build/build_config.h" 34 35 class BinaryValue; 36 class DictionaryValue; 37 class FundamentalValue; 38 class ListValue; 39 class StringValue; 40 class Value; 41 42 typedef std::vector<Value*> ValueVector; 43 typedef std::map<std::string, Value*> ValueMap; 44 45 // The Value class is the base class for Values.
