the namespace.
Please note that the namespace must always be a valid UUID string. An empty
string, another data type, etc. will result

to uniquely identify records across data sets.

+=== count
+
+Returns the count of the number of elements. This is commonly used in
conjunction with arrays. For example, if we have the following record:
+
+----
+{
+ "id": "1234",
+ "elements": [{
+ "name": "book",
+ "color": "red"
+ }, {
+ "name": "computer",
+ "color": "black"
+ }]
+}
+----
+
+We could determine the number of `elements` by using the `count` function.
Using:
+
+----
+count(/elements[*])
+----
+
+Would yield a value of `2`. We could also use this as a filter, such as:
+----
+/id[ count(/elements[*]) ]
