/ namespace slash
| special character | since v0.0-927 |  in clojure | in edn | Edit |
The left side of / in a keyword or symbol is a namespace.
foo/bar:foo/bar
Details:
/ can appear once inside a symbol. The left side of / must always be a namespace.
The right side completes the reference to the symbol.
It should be noted that this differs from Clojure. For example,
notice / appearing before PersistentVector in Clojure:
- Clojure:
clojure.lang.PersistentVector/EMPTY - ClojureScript:
cljs.core/PersistentVector.EMPTY
/ is the division function if it is by itself.
See . dot for usage of dots on either side of /
