Description

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.

Usage

To use the GetMeta method, provide the key name as a string and a default value of type T. The method will return the metadata value associated with the key if it exists; otherwise, it will return the default value.

Example

// Example usage of GetMeta method
var package = new Package();
string keyName = "author";
string defaultValue = "Unknown";
string author = package.GetMeta(keyName, defaultValue);

// If the metadata for "author" exists, it will be returned.
// Otherwise, "Unknown" will be returned.
