The GetMeta method retrieves metadata associated with a package using a specified key. If the key does not exist, it returns a default value provided by the caller. This method is virtual, allowing derived classes to override its behavior.
The GetMeta method retrieves metadata associated with a package using a specified key. If the key does not exist, it returns a default value provided by the caller. This method is virtual, allowing derived classes to override its behavior.
To use the GetMeta method, you need to provide a key name as a string and a default value of type T. The method will return the value associated with the key if it exists; otherwise, it will return the default value.
// Example usage of GetMeta method var package = new Package(); string key = "author"; string defaultAuthor = "Unknown"; string author = package.GetMeta(key, defaultAuthor); // If the key "author" exists in the package metadata, 'author' will contain its value. // Otherwise, 'author' will be "Unknown".
