### Field accessor post-aggregator
### Field accessor post-aggregators
This returns the value produced by the specified [aggregator](../querying/aggregations.html).
These post-aggregators return the value produced by the specified [aggregator](../querying/aggregations.html).
`fieldName` refers to the output name of the aggregator given in the [aggregations](../querying/aggregations.html) portion of the query.
For complex aggregators, like "cardinality" and "hyperUnique", the `type` of the post-aggregator determines what
the post-aggregator will return. Use type "fieldAccess" to return the raw aggregation object, or use type
"finalizingFieldAccess" to return a finalized value, such as an estimated cardinality.
```json
{ "type" : "fieldAccess", "name": <output_name>, "fieldName" : <aggregator_name> }
```
or
```json
{ "type" : "finalizingFieldAccess", "name": <output_name>, "fieldName" : <aggregator_name> }
```
### Constant post-aggregator
The constant post-aggregator always returns the specified value.
