valuetrue

Valuetrue is a term used in computing to denote a concept of truthfulness or an enabled state within data models, configuration, and code. It is not a formal standard, but rather a descriptive label that appears in various projects to convey that a particular feature, option, or condition is active. In practice, valuetrue can take several forms: as a named constant in code (for example, VALUETRUE or valueTrue set to the boolean true), as a string key in configuration files (for instance, "valuetrue": "enabled"), or as a literal boolean true depending on the language and data format.

Because boolean semantics differ across languages and data formats, the exact representation of valuetrue varies. In languages with a true boolean type, using the literal true is clear and unambiguous. When systems rely on string keys or serialized data, valuetrue may appear as a special value that must be looked up during parsing.

The term's origin is informal; it often arises from naming conventions where developers prefer explicit indicators of a flag state. Care should be taken to document such usage to avoid confusion between the literal true and a value associated with a key named valuetrue.

In design practice, preferring explicit booleans or well-documented keys reduces ambiguity. Valuetrue exemplifies how project-specific naming can reflect domain meaning but does not implement any universal meaning beyond its local context.
