Can you tell me whether I'm understanding this correctly?

Would this query result in, e.g. [(director: Null, author: J.K Rowling), (director: Spielberg, Null), ...] or would it be [author: J.K. Rowling, director: Spielberg, ...] or just plain strings: [J.K. Rowling, Spielberg, ...]? I still don't totally get the model here.

View on HN

If fetched as JSON: {"favories": [{"director": null, "author": "J.K Rowling"}, {"director": "Spielberg", "author": null}, ...]}

You can also query the actual object type by referring to the __type__ link:

  SELECT User {
    favorites: {
        __type__,
        [IS Movie].director,
        [IS Book].author,
    }
  };

Thanks for the clarification! Seems really cool :)
