KRL allows deep queries by what are known as hash paths. A hash path is an array whose elements represent the key values (for a map) or array indices of a path from the root of a complex data structure to the element of interest:

another_val = some_hash{["fizz", "b"]}; // returns 6 |
...
| Code Block | ||||||

some_string = "map_key";
literal_map = {some_string : "associated value"}; // DOES NOT WORK |
