Nesting is not recommended except in cases where nested fields can refer to either primitives or objects. Just use the "dot notation" described above where possible. You can nest entities an arbitrary number of times, provided there is a valid "iterateOver" field specified at every level. You can also make an entity object both specify an entity and contain an array, although this is not recommended. |
