Pattern

regexengine-agnostic
([a-zA-Z_][\w.]*)=("[^"]*"|\S+)   (flags: g)

Raw source: ([a-zA-Z_][\w.]*)=("[^"]*"|\S+)

How it works

([a-zA-Z_][\w.]*) captures the key: starts with a letter or underscore, followed by word chars or dots. = is a literal separator. ("[^"]*"|\S+) captures the value: either a double-quoted string (allowing spaces inside) or an unquoted sequence of non-whitespace characters.
