Elements

An element is a raw value, either as a the assigned value of a field, or an item in a list. They can be any of the fundamental data types.

things = [ 
    "string"
    1
    null
    false
    ''
      Multi-line
      string
    ''
    [ "another" "list" ]
    { text = "another map"; }
];

In this example, the following parts are elements:

• "string"
• 1
• null
• '' ... Multi-line string ... '' (abbreviated)
• [ "another" "list" ]
  • "another"
  • "list"
• { text = "a map"; }
  • "a map"
