Data Types
The protocol description below will contain references to various types, which are collected here for reference
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| string | A simple quoted string, following standard JSON rules; see the JSON spec for details. |
| decimal | A decimal value, encoded in a JSON string. The contents will be a series of digits, followed by an optional decimal point and additional digits. |
| timestamp | The number of seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC. This is usually provided for compatibility; implementors should use the more precise timestampms when available. When used as an input, either the millisecond or second precision is usable; this is unambiguous for dates past 1/29/1970 |
| timestampms | The number of milliseconds since 1970-01-01 UTC. The begin date is the standard UNIX epoch, so this will be 1000 times the UNIX timestamp in seconds. This will be transmitted as a JSON number, not a string. |
| integer | A whole number, transmitted as a JSON number. |
| boolean | A JSON boolean, the literal string true or false |
| array | a JSON array. Each element contains a payload that will be described. |
