Class: QgsProjectPropertyKey

class qgis.core.QgsProjectPropertyKey(name: str = '')

Bases: QgsProjectProperty

Create a new QgsProjectPropertyKey with the specified identifier.

QgsProjectPropertyKey(QgsProjectPropertyKey)

Project property key node.

Can, itself, contain QgsProjectPropertyKey and QgsProjectPropertyValues.

The internal QHash, mProperties, maps key names to their respective QgsProjectPropertyValue or next QgsProjectPropertyKey in the key name sequence. The key with the current name should contain its QgsProjectPropertyValue.

E.g., given the key sequence “/foo/bar”, “foo” will have a corresponding QgsProjectPropertyKey with a name “foo”. It will contain an element in its mProperties that maps to “bar”, which is another QgsProjectPropertyKey. The “bar” QgsProjectPropertyKey will, in turn, have an element that maps to itself, i.e. “bar”, that will contain a QgsProjectPropertyValue.
