Literals

Literals are predefined constant values in Internet Object that represent common data states and special values. They provide a concise way to express boolean values, null states, and special numeric values without requiring quotes or additional syntax.

Supported Literals

Internet Object supports the following literal values:

Literal	Type	Represents	Case Sensitive
true	Boolean	True value	Yes
T	Boolean	True value (short form)	Yes
false	Boolean	False value	Yes
F	Boolean	False value (short form)	Yes
null	Null	Null/empty value	Yes
N	Null	Null/empty value (short form)	Yes
Inf	Number	Positive infinity	Yes
-Inf	Number	Negative infinity	Yes
NaN	Number	Not a Number	Yes

Examples

# Boolean literals
~ isActive: true, verified: F, isDeleted: false, visible: T

# Null literals
~ middleName: null, nickname: N

# Special numeric literals
~ maxValue: Inf, minValue: -Inf, result: NaN

Rules

• Case Sensitive: All literals must use exact case (True, FALSE, NULL are invalid)

• No Quotes: Literals are written without quotes

• Short Forms: Single-letter shortcuts available for brevity
