    Folder

    Represents a folder in a Dremio home space or a space. All folders returned by the REST API have an entityType of folder.

    Home Parameters

    The JSON representation of a folder looks like this:

    {
  "entityType": "folder" [immutable after creation],
  "id": String [immutable, generated by Dremio],
  "path": [String] [immutable, generated by Dremio],
  "tag": String [immutable, generated by Dremio],
  "children": [CatalogEntitySummary] [optional] [immutable, generated by Dremio]
}

    Note:
