File Value Only

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

• contentType: The MIME type of the file

• value: A URI, path, or reference to the file location (may be technology-dependent and non-user readable)

Example

Consider a File representing a configuration file:

{
    "idShort": "ConfigFile",
    "modelType": "File",
    "contentType": "text/plain",
    "value": "file://config.txt",
    "description": {
        "en": "A sample configuration file"
    },
    "displayName": {
        "en": "Configuration File"
    }
}

Its corresponding Value Only representation would be:

{
    "contentType": "text/plain",
    "value": "file://config.txt",
}
