Subcollection Resource
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

``kind``: ``state``

A subcollection resource is essentially the same as a :ref:`resource <resource_section>`. As with collections and subcollections, the only difference between the two is that you must access the subcollection resource via the subcollection attached to the main resource.

.. topic:: Example

   To build on the :ref:`subcollection example <subcollection_example>`: ``pool`` is the resource, ``members_s`` is the subcollection, and ``members`` (the actual pool member) is the subcollection resource.

   >>> from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
   >>> mgmt = ManagementRoot('192.168.1.1', 'myuser', 'mypass')
   >>> pool = mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(partition='Common', name='p1')
   >>> member = pool.members_s.members.load(partition='Common', name='n1:80')

   The JSON below shows a :obj:`f5.bigip.tm.ltm.pool.members_s.members` object.

.. tip::

    It's easy to tell that this is a Resource object because the ``kind`` is ``state``, not ``collectionstate``.
