Interface ValueReader


public interface ValueReader
Enables reading the value of the attribute specified by the path

The path may be:

  1. simple -> it includes a single attribute only, like "name"
  2. nested -> it includes more than a single attribute separated with a dot (.), e.g. "person.address.city"
The path may also include array elements:
  1. specific quantifier, like "person.leg[1]" -> returns the leg with index 1
  2. wildcard quantifier, like "person.leg[any]" -> returns all legs

The wildcard quantifier may be used multiple times, like "person.leg[any].finger[any]" which returns all fingers from all legs.
