title: does android have the <defaultsMap> xml tag that firebase uses?
body: <p>in firebase you can provide it a defaultsMap xml tag for keeping something like key value pairs. it looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;!-- START xml_defaults --&gt;
  &lt;defaultsMap&gt;
      &lt;entry&gt;
          &lt;key&gt;loading_phrase&lt;/key&gt;
          &lt;value&gt;Fetching config…&lt;/value&gt;
      &lt;/entry&gt;
      &lt;entry&gt;
          &lt;key&gt;welcome_message_caps&lt;/key&gt;
          &lt;value&gt;false&lt;/value&gt;
      &lt;/entry&gt;
      &lt;entry&gt;
          &lt;key&gt;welcome_message&lt;/key&gt;
          &lt;value&gt;Welcome to my awesome app!&lt;/value&gt;
      &lt;/entry&gt;
  &lt;/defaultsMap&gt;
      &lt;!-- END xml_defaults --&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>my question is NOT firebase related. My question is am i able to utilize this for other purposes ? i'd like to keep a defaultsMap in xml for other purposes and it wold even be so handy if i could convert it to a java Map easily. Is this tag only for firebase use ?  If not how would i use it for my own purposes ? i cant find any documentation on the tag, seems poorly documented. </p>
