# API `StringConnection` includes `nodes` field

As of API version `2025-01`, you can access `StringConnection.nodes` field shorthand to retrieve an array of strings directly instead of via `edges`. This connection type is now consistent with other connection types in the schema.

Learn more about `StringConnection` on [GraphQL Admin API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2025-01/connections/StringConnection) and [Storefront API](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/storefront/2025-01/connections/StringConnection).
