## Description

The <span class="title-ref">DictionaryEntry</span> class represents a single key-value pair in a Dictionary. It is immutable and is not tied to the Dictionary it was created from, so subsequent updates to the Dictionary will not change the <span class="title-ref">DictionaryEntry</span> property values.
