Answer 1

Using lightbend config java library (https://github.com/lightbend/config)

String toHierarchicalJsonString(Properties props) {
  com.typesafe.config.Config config = com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory.parseProperties(props);
  return config.root().render(com.typesafe.config.ConfigRenderOptions.concise());
}
