请问dot-separated case（点分隔命名格式）是否有特定名称？

Great question—this is one of those naming conventions that’s super common but easy to overlook when it comes to formal labels!

While it doesn’t have a hyper-standardized, universally agreed-upon name like camelCase or snake_case, the two most widely recognized terms for this format are:

• Dot case (the most frequently used term in developer communities)
• Dot-separated case (a more explicit, descriptive alternative)

You’ll see this convention everywhere: think Java package names like com.example.myapplication, configuration keys such as app.settings.debug.mode, or even some API endpoint paths. Occasionally, you might hear it informally referred to as "period case," but that’s far less common than the two above.

It makes sense that your search might have felt a bit scattered—since it’s often just referred to by its descriptive name rather than a snappy, single-word label like the other conventions. But rest assured, "dot case" is the go-to term most developers will recognize immediately.
