Identifiers
Identifiers name variables and are used in property access expressions. They are case-sensitive.
Naming rules
Identifiers
- Must begin with a letter or underscore (
_) - May contain any Unicode letters, digits (0–9), and underscores
- Cannot be a reserved keyword (except when used as object property names)
Naming conventions
| Usage | Convention | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Local variables | lowerCamelCase | orderTotal, itemCount |
| Private/internal variables | underscore prefix | _payloadData, _metadata |
| Iterator variables | match the collection name | foreach item in Data.items |
Private/internal variables are not special in any way - Jyro treats all identifiers equally. The underscore option is provided for semantic differentiation.
Function names are host-provided and always PascalCase (e.g., ToUpper, WhereByField). The Data identifier is reserved and always PascalCase.
