Value

The Value base class is used to abstract out all expression components that can be placed in LHS and RHS of a Hope expression.

The following derived types are important:

• NumericValue - Represents the number type of Hope as discussed in core data types
• BooleanValue - Represents the boolean type of Hope as discussed in core data types
• StringValue - Represents the string type of Hope as discussed in core data types
• ArrayValue - Represents arrays. This can be used only as function parameters.
• JsonPointerValue - Represents a json pointer that will evaluate to a value of core type during evaluation phase.
• JsonPathValue - Represents a json path that will evaluate to a value of core type during evaluation phase.
• FunctionValue - Represents a function call that will evaluate to a value of core type during evaluation phase.

Note

From Version 1.1.0 Hope supports JSON Pointers (RFC). Pointers fit better for the use-case, are more standardized and much more performant than most Json path implementations. As such Json Path support would be removed in a future version of Hope. All new code should use Json Pointers and not json paths.
