Registry module is primarily proposed for easy configuration and initialization of all the parts of Massive server or client. Nevertheless, this functionality has been further enhanced - now the Registry can serve as a hierarchical database for many more purposes (for example for storing various system statistics - user can obtain a reference to any variable in the registry and thus make the access or modification very effective). Registry can be filled by a program code, but it also provides methods for loading its contents from configuration files .
