Standard Library

EdgeDB comes with a rigorously defined type system consisting of scalar types, collection types (like arrays and tuples), and object types. There is also a library of built-in functions and operators for working with each datatype.

Scalar Types

Scalar types store primitive data.

• Strings

• Numbers

• Booleans

• Dates and times

• Enums

• JSON

• UUID

• Bytes

• Sequences

• Abstract types: these are the types that undergird the scalar hierarchy.

Collection Types

Collection types are special generic types used to group homogeneous or heterogeneous data.

• Arrays

• Tuples

Range Types

• Range

Object Types

• Object Types

Types and Sets

• Sets

• Types

• Casting

Utilities

• Math

• Comparison

• Constraints

• System
