	//		using data APIs of a data store specified to 'dataStore' property.

	//		Intermediate attribute names in the dotted notation specify
	//		attributes for child items, which are used for repeated calls to
	//		data APIs until reached to a descendant attribute.
	//		Attribute names may have an array index, such as "a[0]", to
	//		identify an array element of the attribute value.
