Request result (response)
Each request returns a JSON string with the syntax of values as response (syntax of values is described below in Values, formats and encoding ). Most requests (except GET and OSI) simply return a string_value . In case of error, always a string_value is returned.
When terminating successfully, GET and OSI respond with an JSON object (see Values, formats and encoding ) like:
{ name: values }
name - is the name of the source property ( source ) for the request defined in body (OSI) or location (other HTTP requests) .
values - Depending on the referenced property and type of request, the structure of values differs. Restrictions for values are described for each request type separately.
