ReadonlypathThe address of this node: the Property names walked from the root. Empty at the root.
ReadonlypipeThe transforms applied at this node. Empty except on a transform stage.
ReadonlyrangeThe effective value Range this node resolves to against the flake's driving shape.
The type and cardinality the node's path and pipe resolve to, composed across the steps from the root. A single-valued property under a multi-valued ancestor thus carries the multi-valued cardinality. On the root, the range envelopes the driving shape. On a Branch, it is the effective range of the entry; Id / Type markers resolve to the IRI range. On a transform stage, it is the output of the transform. Consumers read it directly, with no need to resolve it again through blue's effective.
Optional ReadonlydrainThe retrieval requested at this node, in a model- or query-mode flake.
On the root, the drain holds the whole retrieval. On a Branch, it holds the query requested for the
property; a requested Id / Type marker takes the atomic form. A projected node, including a
transform stage, also carries the binding alias. A query root carries one when an empty-path binding (qest
§5.8.1) projects the member itself: its drain remains the projection over the collection, and the properties
the binding requests of the member appear among its entries. Absent where nothing is
requested, as on a branch or marker present only to carry the constraints the query states for it.
Optional ReadonlytransformsThe transform stages applied to this node, keyed by the Transform each applies.
Optional ReadonlyentriesThis node's property branches (see Entries).
Absent where the node has none: scalar and localised ranges, Id / Type markers, and transform stages. In a shape-mode flake, references other than captive ones carry none either. In a model-mode flake, properties retrieved as atomics carry none, and neither do multi-valued properties, whose drain holds the nested retrieval. In a query-mode flake, the root holds a branch for every path the query addresses, including the properties an empty-path binding requests of the member through its template.
Optional ReadonlyltStrict upper bound constraint (< operator).
Optional ReadonlygtStrict lower bound constraint (> operator).
Optional ReadonlylteInclusive upper bound constraint (<= operator).
Optional ReadonlygteInclusive lower bound constraint (>= operator).
Optional ReadonlylikeText search constraint (~ operator).
Matches values containing every whitespace-separated token of the search string as a case-insensitive substring.
Optional ReadonlyanyExistential set matching constraint ("any of", ? operator).
Optional ReadonlyallUniversal set matching constraint ("all of", ! operator).
Optional ReadonlyfocusSort focus (+ operator): resources whose value is among the options rank first, ahead of the sort order.
Optional ReadonlyorderSort-key precedence (^ operator). The absolute value sets the position across sort keys; the
sign sets the direction. The "asc"/"desc" shorthands are normalised to 1/-1.
Optional ReadonlyoffsetResult-window offset (@ operator).
Optional ReadonlylimitResult-window upper bound (# operator).
A node of a flake.
The common base of every node: the root, each Branch, and each transform stage. A node carries the path locating it and the range it resolves to. Model- and query-mode flakes add the retrieval requested at the node; query-mode flakes also add its transform stages and its constraint, ordering, and pagination slots.
