## Detailed Description

The `Key` class corresponds to the `key` nonterminal in the MessageFormat 2 grammar, https://github.com/unicode-org/message-format-wg/blob/main/spec/message.abnf .

It also corresponds to the `Literal | CatchallKey` that is the element type of the `keys` array in the `Variant` interface defined in https://github.com/unicode-org/message-format-wg/blob/main/spec/data-model.md#messages

A key is either a literal or the wildcard symbol (represented in messages as '*')

`Key` is immutable, copyable and movable.

## ◆ Key() [2/3]

U_I18N_API icu::message2::data_model::Key::Key | ( |  | ) |
| inline

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ asLiteral()

U_I18N_API const Literal& icu::message2::data_model::Key::asLiteral | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the contents of this key as a literal.

Precondition: !isWildcard()

Returns
  The literal contents of the key

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:
  This API is for technology preview only.

## ◆ isWildcard()

U_I18N_API UBool icu::message2::data_model::Key::isWildcard | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Determines if this is a wildcard key.

Returns
  True if and only if this is the wildcard key

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:
  This API is for technology preview only.

Definition at line 356 of file messageformat2_data_model.h.

## ◆ operator<()

U_I18N_API bool icu::message2::data_model::Key::operator< | ( | const Key & | other | ) | const

Less than operator.

Compares the literal of `this` with the literal of `other`. This method is used in representing the mapping from key lists to patterns in a message with variants, and is not expected to be useful otherwise.

Parameters

  other | The Key to compare to this one.

Returns
  true if the two `Key`s are not wildcards and if `this.asLiteral()` < `other.asLiteral()`. Returns false otherwise.

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:
  This API is for technology preview only.

## ◆ operator=()

U_I18N_API Key& icu::message2::data_model::Key::operator= | ( | Key |  | ) |
| noexcept

Assignment operator.

Internal:
  Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:
  This API is for technology preview only.

## ◆ operator==()

U_I18N_API bool icu::message2::data_model::Key::operator== | ( | const Key & | other | ) | const

Equality operator.

Compares the literal of `this` with the literal of `other`. This method is used in representing the mapping from key lists to patterns in a message with variants, and is not expected to be useful otherwise.

Parameters

  other | The Key to compare to this one.

Returns
  true if either both `Key`s are wildcards, or `this.asLiteral()` == `other.asLiteral()`. Returns false otherwise.

  Do not use. This API is for internal use only. ICU 75 technology preview

Deprecated:
