A key-value store.
KeyUtil-value stores support storing values for integer or string keys chosen
by the user. Any serializable value can be stored, although an implementation
of this interface may further restrict the range of accepted values. See the
documentation of the implementation for more information.

		#
		get( integer|string $key, mixed $default = null )
			Returns the value of a key in the store. 
			Returns the value of a key in the store. If a key does not exist in the store, the default value passed in the
second parameter is returned. Any integer or string value is accepted as key. If any other type is
passed for the key, an Webmozart\KeyValueStore\Api\InvalidKeyExceptionis thrown. You should
make sure that you only pass valid keys to the store. If the backend of the store cannot be read, a Webmozart\KeyValueStore\Api\ReadExceptionis thrown. You should always handle this exception in your code: try { $value = $store->get($key);
} catch (ReadException $e) { 
}Parameters
					$keyThe key to get.$defaultThe default value to return if the key does
                           not exist.Returns
					mixed The value of the key or the default value if the key does
              not exist.Throws |
