| # Duplicate Fields |
| |
| CUE allows duplicated field definitions as long as they don't conflict. |
| |
| For values of basic types this means they must be equal. |
| |
| For structs, fields are merged and duplicated fields are handled recursively. |
| |
| For lists, all elements must match accordingly |
| ([we discuss open-ended lists later](lists.md).) |

| } |
| s: { |
| y: 2 |
| } |
| |
| l: [ 1, 2 ] |
| l: [ 1, 2 ] |
| ``` |
| |
| <!-- result --> |

| s: { |
| x: 1 |
| y: 2 |
| } |
| l: [1, 2] |
