**Limitations**
- Only the last list or container can be queried leaf values. Any ancestor list will have to be referenced by its key name-value pair(s).
- - Multiple attributes can only be combined using ``and``. ``or`` and bracketing is not supported.

- Only leaves can be used, leaf-list are not supported.
- Only string and integer values are supported, boolean and float values are not supported.
- The key should be supplied with correct data type for it to be queried from DB. In the last example above the attribute code is of type
