Description

The value_types support string, number, and various image media types such as image/jpeg, as defined in the IANA media type registry for images (https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml#image). The specification also states that other values MAY also be used.

It would be beneficial to reference all supported JSON types, to provide a comprehensive overview of the possible data types that can be utilized, such as:

  • object (JSON object)
  • array
  • boolean
  • null

The scope of this issue also includes determining which JSON types should not be used.
