Language guide

UmbraScript statements read like short instructions. Each statement combines an action, a resource, and the information needed to identify or change that resource.

UmbraScript

publish content below "/news/"

In this example:

• publish is the action.
• content is the resource.
• below "/news/" selects every descendant of the News item.

Core concepts

• Mental model explains how actions, resources, and tree targets fit together.
• Statements and keywords explains word order, whitespace, and case sensitivity.
• Strings explains quoted values and escape sequences.
• References and selections explains keys, paths, at, in, and below.
• Destinations explains root and parent destinations for create, move, and copy commands.
• Results and errors explains JSON results and diagnostic codes.
