KeyValue

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

Here is an example containing two annotations:

{
  "summary": "alert summary",
  "description": "alert description"
}

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