# representations

An array of representations of the place using common mapping concepts.

```
let representations: [PlaceDescriptor.PlaceRepresentation]
```

## Discussion

When searching or fetching a place from a mapping service provider, the order of the list can be a hint of usefulness for a specific purpose. Representations that most closely match the original data source come first.

For example a hike tracking app may include a `.coordinate` first, even if an approximate `.address` is available. A contacts app may put `.address` first, even if the service provider fetched a `.coordinate` for display on a Map.
