All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, SdkPojo, ToCopyableBuilder<KeysAndAttributes.Builder,KeysAndAttributes>
```
@Generated(value="software.amazon.awssdk:codegen")
public final class KeysAndAttributes
extends Object
implements SdkPojo, Serializable, ToCopyableBuilder<KeysAndAttributes.Builder,KeysAndAttributes>
```
Represents a set of primary keys and, for each key, the attributes to retrieve from the table.

For each primary key, you must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide both the partition key and the sort key.

- Method Detail
  - hasKeys
```
public final boolean hasKeys()
```
    For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the Keys property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
  - keys
```
public final List<Map<String,AttributeValue>> keys()
```
    The primary key attribute values that define the items and the attributes associated with the items.
    
    Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.
    
    This method will never return null. If you would like to know whether the service returned this field (so that you can differentiate between null and empty), you can use the hasKeys() method.
    
    Returns:
    
    The primary key attribute values that define the items and the attributes associated with the items.
  - hasAttributesToGet
```
public final boolean hasAttributesToGet()
```
    For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the AttributesToGet property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
  - attributesToGet
```
public final List<String> attributesToGet()
```
    This is a legacy parameter. Use ProjectionExpression instead. For more information, see Legacy Conditional Parameters in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

  - consistentRead
```
public final Boolean consistentRead()
```
    The consistency of a read operation. If set to true, then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used.
    
    Returns:
    
    The consistency of a read operation. If set to true, then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used.
  - projectionExpression
```
public final String projectionExpression()
```
    A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the ProjectionExpression must be separated by commas.
    
    If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.
    
    For more information, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

  - hasExpressionAttributeNames
```
public final boolean hasExpressionAttributeNames()
```
    For responses, this returns true if the service returned a value for the ExpressionAttributeNames property. This DOES NOT check that the value is non-empty (for which, you should check the isEmpty() method on the property). This is useful because the SDK will never return a null collection or map, but you may need to differentiate between the service returning nothing (or null) and the service returning an empty collection or map. For requests, this returns true if a value for the property was specified in the request builder, and false if a value was not specified.
  - expressionAttributeNames
```
public final Map<String,String> expressionAttributeNames()
```
    One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using ExpressionAttributeNames:
    - To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.
    - To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.
    - To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.
    Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:
    - Percentile
    The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for ExpressionAttributeNames:
    - {"#P":"Percentile"}
    You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:
    - #P = :val
    Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.
    
    For more information on expression attribute names, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
    
    Attempts to modify the collection returned by this method will result in an UnsupportedOperationException.
