IdentifiableElement (Neo4j Cypher DSL (Core) 2021.2.3 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

Named, Node, PropertyContainer, Relationship

All Known Implementing Classes:

AliasedExpression, NamedPath, NodeBase, RelationshipBase, SymbolicName
```
public interface IdentifiableElement
```
This interface represents an element that can be for example an identifiable part of the WITH clause. It has been introduced to circumvent the absence of union types in Java and to avoid an overload of StatementBuilder.with(Expression...) with an Object... parameter to allow passing named things or aliased expression into a pipeline.
There should be no need to implement this on your own.
