- Method Detail
  - create
```
static Key create(String key)
```
    Returns a key instance by its string value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - string value to use
    
    Returns:
    
    a standard key instance
  - isValid
```
static boolean isValid(Key key)
```
    Returns true if key passed as argument is not null and its value is not null as well.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - key to be checked
    
    Returns:
    
    true if key passed as argument is not null and its value is not null as well.
  - checkIfValid
```
static void checkIfValid(Key key)
```
    Checks if key passed as argument is not null and its value is not null as well. If not, throw a IllegalArgumentException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - key to be checked
  - checkAndGetIfValid
```
static Key checkAndGetIfValid(Key key)
```
    Checks if key passed as argument is not null and its value is not null as well. If not, throw a IllegalArgumentException, otherwise it returns the key.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - key to be checked
    
    Returns:
    
    the same key passed as argument
  - hasKeyByValue
```
static <T extends Key> boolean hasKeyByValue(T[] enumValues,

    Type Parameters:
    
    T - type of key
    
    Parameters:
    
    enumValues - enumeration values of keys
    
    value - value to search into key
    
    Returns:
    
    true if a key into an enumeration is related to the value, otherwise false
  - getKeyByValue
```
static <T extends Key> T getKeyByValue(T[] enumValues,
                                       String value)

                                       String value,
                                       T defaultKey)
```
    Returns a key into an enumeration by the value, or the default key passed as argument.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - type of key
    
    Parameters:
    
    enumValues - enumeration values of keys
    
    value - value to search into key
    
    defaultKey - default key instance if the value is not found
    
    Returns:
    
    the found key by value or the default one

static int compare(Key k1,
                   Key k2)
```
    Compares the two specified key values.
    
    Parameters:
    
    k1 - the first key to compare
    
    k2 - the second key to compare
    
    Returns:
    
    the value 0 if k1 value is equal to k2; a value less than 0 if k1 value is less than k2; and a value greater than 0 if k1 value is greater than k2.
