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
