+### Path
+
+:: A _path entry_ is an entry within an _error result_ that allows for
+association with a particular field reached during GraphQL execution.
+
+The value for a _path entry_ must be a list of path segments starting at the
+root of the response and ending with the field to be associated with. Path
+segments that represent fields must be strings, and path segments that represent
+list indices must be 0-indexed integers. If a path segment is associated with an
+aliased field it must use the aliased name, since it represents a path in the
+response, not in the request.
+
+When the _path entry_ is present on an _error result_, it identifies the
+response field which experienced the error.
