`static int`	`compare(Key k1, Key k2)`	Compares the two specified key values.
`static Key`	`create(String key)`	Returns a key instance by its string value.
`static boolean`	`equals(Key k1, Key k2)`	Returns `true` if the keys have got the same value.
`static <T extends Key> T`	`getKeyByValue(T[] enumValues, String value)`	Returns a key in the an enumeration by the value.
`static <T extends Key> T`	`getKeyByValue(T[] enumValues, String value, T defaultKey)`	Returns a key in the an enumeration by the value, or the default key passed as argument.
`static <T extends Key> boolean`	`hasKeyByValue(T[] enumValues, String value)`	Returns `true` if a key in the an enumeration is related to the value, otherwise `false`.
`static boolean`	`isValid(Key key)`	Returns `true` if key passed as argument is not `null` and its value is not `null` as well.
`String`	`value()`	Returns the name value of property
