# String Derived Types

Internet object specifies `email`, `url`, `datetime`, `date` and `time` as derived types of string and also provides built-in support for them.

The following snippet represents a string and its derived types.

```yaml
# Strings and its derived types
{ 
  name: string, 
  emailId: email, 
  profileUrl: url,
  journyDate: date,
  departureTime: time,
  bookingDatetime: datetime
   
 }

 Christopher Andrews,                                # string
 christopher.andrews01@xyz.com,                      # email
 https://www.abc.com/in/christopher-andrew-06528b155 #url
 2021-02-09                                          # date
 06:30:00                                            # time
 2020-12-30T12:39:48.545                             #datetime
}
  
```

Here the, `name` is of string type and will only accept strings. Similarly, `emailId`, `profileUrl`, `journyDate` `departureTime` and `bookingDatetimedate` are of different types such as `email`, `url`, `date`, `time`, `datetime`. Therefore they will only accept values with the defined types for the respective variable.
