key-value pairs

Key-value pairs are a way of organizing data where each piece of information (value) is linked to a unique identifier (key). Think of it like a dictionary: the word (key) points to its definition (value). This system allows for quick access and retrieval of data since you can directly look up the value using its key. Key-value pairs are commonly used in databases, programming, and data storage to efficiently manage and retrieve information. They provide a simple yet effective way to organize complex data structures for easy access and manipulation.
