# `object` element

The `object` element describes an object to retrieve. `Object` elements can be nested within the collection or within other objects.

Attribute | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`name` | The name of the object to retrieve. | Yes

## Example

In the following example, the connector retrieves the `owninguser` object:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <spec>
      <collection name="accounts">
        <item name="accountid" />
        <item name="name" />
        <item name="description" />
        <object name="owninguser">
          <item name="employeeid" />
          <item name="fullname" />
        </object>
      </collection>
    </spec>

An example of a document produced by this specification appears below:

    <DOCUMENT>
      <DREREFERENCE>http://host/Dynamics/api/data/v8.1/accounts(34b8ffd0-4232-e611-80c5-0050569248a7)</DREREFERENCE>
      <accountid>34b8ffd0-4232-e611-80c5-0050569248a7</accountid>
      <description>This is the description</description>
      <name>Hewlett Packard Enterprise</name>
      <owninguser>
        <employeeid>0123456</employeeid>
        <fullname>John Smith</fullname>
      </owninguser>
    </DOCUMENT>

Objects can also be nested within other objects, for example:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <spec>
      <collection name="accounts">
        <item name="accountid" />
        <item name="name" />
        <item name="description" />
        <object name="owninguser">
          <object name="...">
             <item name="..." />
          </object>
          <item name="employeeid" />
          <item name="fullname" />
        </object>
      </collection>
    </spec>
