Description
This is from the following page:
https://swagger.io/docs/specification/describing-responses/

Description above mentions type:string with format: binary or format: base64.
The latter probably should be format: byte; i was not able to find format: base64 in the section around Data Types: https://swagger.io/specification/#dataTypes
