Class TextLocator (1.0.0)

A locator for text. Indicates a particular part of the text of a request or of an object referenced in the request.

For example, suppose the request field text contains:

text: “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”

Then the locator:

source: “text” start_position { line: 1 column: 17 } end_position { line: 1 column: 19 }

refers to the part of the text: “fox”.

The position of the first byte within the text.

If source, start_position, and end_position describe a call on some object (e.g. a macro in the time series query language text) and a location is to be designated in that object’s text, nested_locator identifies the location within that object.

The position of a byte within the text.

The column within the line, starting with 1, where the byte is positioned. This is a byte index even though the text is UTF-8.
