Re: field and value 

This question is probably easier answered by example:

[1]: An object can have many properties.  For example a person has a name, age, etc.

In this case 'name' would be the property (field name) and "Billy Jones" would be the value

The field/property name is the part the does NOT change.

The  value is the part that can change.

Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
