< p > Expressions are used to filter down < a href = "../query/" class = "ref" > Query< / a > objects. They
can be passed to the < a href = "../query/filter/" class = "ref" > filter< / a > function in particular.< / p >
< p > The most basic expression is created by accessing the < a href = "../f/" class = "ref" > F< / a > object
which will return an expression that points to a field. Further manipulation
of it can create more expressive expressions. < code > F.name< / code > literally just means
that a field by that name exists and is set to a value.< / p >
< p > The query syntax is mostly the same in Python as well as in the Jinja 2
