== Description

pass:v,q[Objects of this type represent a single key] pass:v,q[and value pair in a query string where a key]
pass:v,q[is always present and may be empty, while the]
pass:v,q[presence of a value is indicated by]
xref:boost/urls/param/has_value.adoc[has_value]
pass:v,q[equal to true.]
pass:v,q[An empty value is distinct from no value.]
pass:v,q[Depending on where the object was obtained,]
pass:v,q[the strings may or may not contain percent]
pass:v,q[escapes.]
pass:v,q[For most usages, key comparisons are]
pass:v,q[case-sensitive and duplicate keys in]
pass:v,q[a query are possible. However, it is]
pass:v,q[the authority that has final control]
pass:v,q[over how the query is interpreted.]
