2.2.6.3.7 Collection of EDMSimpleType Values

  • Article

A collection of EDMSimpleType values MUST be represented as an array of JSON primitives. Each element in the array represents a single primitive type value.

The syntax of the Verbose JSON representation of a collection of EDMSimpleType values is defined by the grammar listed in this section. The grammar rule "entityCollPrimValueInVJson" defines the Verbose JSON representation of a collection of EDMSimpleType values that can be used in all versions of request payloads and OData 1.0 response payloads. The grammar rule "entityCollPrimValueInVJson2" defines the OData 2.0 Verbose JSON representation of a collection of EDMSimpleType values for response payloads only. The grammar rule "entityCollPrimValueInVJson3" defines the OData 3.0 Verbose JSON representation of a collection of EDMSimpleType values for response payloads only.
