Hi,

I want to know FME standard terminologies about list attribute.

For example, there are some types of list attribute or its expression, how should I call the type name when I need to distinguish them?

_list{} <-- called "simple list", "non-structured list"?

_list{}.name <-- "structured list"?

_list{}.sub{} <-- "multidimentional list", "nested list"?

etc.

If you know related documentations, please let me know URL. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

_list{} <-- list

_list{}.name <-- complex list

Personally, I'd call _list{}.sub{} a nested list and _list{}.sub{}.name a nested complex list, although I haven't seen these terms used by Safe.

Hi David,

Thanks for the answer.

I think "complex list", "nested list" and "nested complex list" are expressing well the characteristics of those list types.

I also will use those terms!
