    \class QMetaAssociation
    \inmodule QtCore
    \since 6.0
    \brief The QMetaAssociation class allows type erased access to associative containers.

    \ingroup objectmodel

    \compares equality

    The class provides a number of primitive container operations, using void*
    as operands. This way, you can manipulate a generic container retrieved from
    a Variant without knowing its type.

    QMetaAssociation covers both, containers with mapped values such as QMap or
    QHash, and containers that only hold keys such as QSet.

    The void* arguments to the various methods are typically created by using
    a \l QVariant of the respective container or value type, and calling
    its \l QVariant::data() or \l QVariant::constData() methods. However, you
    can also pass plain pointers to objects of the container or value type.

    Iterator invalidation follows the rules given by the underlying containers
    and is not expressed in the API. Therefore, for a truly generic container,
    any iterators should be considered invalid after any write operation.
