- Method Detail
  - value
```
java.lang.String value()
```
    Get the raw string value for the key.
    
    Returns:
    
    The raw string value for the key.
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code value for this branch key. The hash code is defined to be the hash code of the string value returned by value().
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    The hash code value for this instance.
  - equals
```
boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)
```
    Compares the specified object with this branch key for equality. Returns true if and only if the specified object is also a branch key and if both have the same value (as returned by value()).
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - The object to test equality against.
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the specified object is equal to this branch key.
  - of
```
static BranchKey of(java.lang.String value)
```
    Create a key used to uniquely identify a branch in a repository.
    
    This method is not supported in the Application Builder's method editor. Use DatabaseApiValueFactory.branchKey(String) instead.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - The raw string value for the key.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new key.
