KeyValue

KeyValue is a set of key/value string pairs that represent labels and annotations.

Here is an example containing two annotations:

  1. {
  2. "summary": "alert summary",
  3. "description": "alert description"
  4. }

In addition to direct access of data (labels and annotations) stored as KeyValue, there are also methods for sorting, removing and transforming.
