# IntentValueExpression

A type that represents a lazily evaluated intent value.

## Declaration

```swift
struct IntentValueExpression
```

## Overview

Overview IntentValueExpression provides a mechanism for lazy evaluation of intent values, allowing values to be converted to containers only when needed. This approach improves performance by deferring potentially expensive conversions until they’re actually required.
