Introduction

Prizm Application Services REST API uses a data type system that is slightly more detailed and more specific than JavaScript's common data types (integer, date, and dateTime). These data types are used for defining properties of the JSON objects in the body of the POST requests and in the body of the responses where applicable.

The table below shows the supported data types by the API:

Type Description Example
number Any number. This includes numbers with or without decimals. 1000.15 or 1500
integer whole numbers only 120
boolean true or false (without quotes) true or false
date This is the ISO 8601 profile for the full-date as described in the RFC 3339 section 5.6, Internet Date/Time Format. The syntax for full-date as described in this document is as full-date = YYYY(4 digits) "-" MM(01 through 12) "-" DD(01 through 31) 2015-05-12
dateTime This is the ISO 8601 profile for the date-time as described in the RFC 3339 section 5.6, Internet Date/Time Format. The date-time syntax described in this document is date-time = YYYY "-" MM "-" DD "T" hh(00 through 23) ":" mm(00 through 59) ":" ss(00 through 59) "Z" / ("+" / "-") hh(00 through 23) ":" mm(00 through 59). This profile defines two ways of handling time zone offsets:
  1. Times are expressed in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), with a special UTC designator ("Z").
  2. Times are expressed in local time, together with a time zone offset in hours and minutes. A time zone offset of "+hh:mm" indicates that the date/time uses a local time zone which is "hh" hours and "mm" minutes ahead of UTC. A time zone offset of "-hh:mm" indicates that the date/time uses a local time zone which is "hh" hours and "mm" minutes behind UTC.
