Blob Value Only

Blob Value Only#

A Blob is serialized as a JSON object containing two properties:

  • contentType: The MIME type of the file

  • value: The Base64 encoded content of the Blob

Example#

Consider a Blob holding a text:

{
    "idShort": "TextBlob",
    "modelType": "Blob",
    "contentType": "text/plain",
    "value": "QmFTeXggaXMgdGhlIGJlc3QgbWlkZGxld2FyZQ==",
    "description": {
        "en": "A sample text blob"
    },
    "displayName": {
        "en": "Text Blob"
    }
}

Its corresponding Value Only representation would be:

{
    "contentType": "text/plain",
    "value": "QmFTeXggaXMgdGhlIGJlc3QgbWlkZGxld2FyZQ=="
}
