DataPath

open class DataPath : PropertyPath, BindingPath

Used together with DataQuery to represent a select, expand or sort item which is a single-part or multi-part path expression. For example, a path whose OData URL representation is “Address/City” might be used to access the “City” property in a complex-typed “Address” property. Also used to represent paths in OData CSDL.
