Object nodes

Object nodes are containers used to represent objects with named fields/properties. Each object node contains a map of child nodes with their names as keys. There is no limit to nesting: objects can contain other objects and arrays. Elements of an object are required to have non-null names.

Object nodes are typically mapped to arbitrary classes and structs during binding.

Properties

roperty	Description
Name	Required if nested in an object node, optional otherwise.
Value	Always returns null. Only value nodes can have values.
Children	Returns an unordered sequence of child nodes.
ChildrenCount	Returns the number of elements in the Children sequence.
this[name]	Returns a child node with given name or null if such a node does not exist.

Equality

Two object nodes are considered equal if their Children sequences are equivalent (contain equal elements but may present different order) and their names match up to differences in case.

Representation

Object(Value("A", "1"), Value("B", "2")) --> { "A": "1", "B": "2" }
