# The SummaryInfoItem Class

Defined in: `Keyview_SummaryInformation.hpp`

The `SummaryInfoItem` class is the type returned by `Session:get_summary_information` to represent a single metadata item. The `SummaryInfoItem` class has methods to inspect the name or type of the item, provide conversion to string for ease of transition from `metadata_map`, and to provide access to the item in its original type (by using a Visitor Pattern implementation).
