# PropertyPath

> A PropertyPath is used to store a reference to a single property within a tree.

## Definition

* **Type:** Struct
* **Namespace:** [Unity.Properties](/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unity/properties.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.PropertiesModule
* **Implements:** [IEquatable\<PropertyPath>](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.iequatable-1)

```csharp
public readonly struct PropertyPath : IEquatable<PropertyPath>
```

## Remarks

The path is stored as an array of parts and can be easily queried for algorithms.
