FileInfo (and Derived Structures)

FileInfo is primarily related to the Presentation entity but is used in limited way by other entities as well. The FileInfo collection may contain the elements below in JSON representation. See Mapping Media Type References for more information about using this data type.

NewFile

   "type": "New", // [string], structure data type visible only in JSON representation and used by de-serializer to determine expected property set of this object instance
   "name": "hello.txt", // [string]
   "size": 12, // [uint]
   "hash": "", // [string]
   "creationDate": null, // [DateTime]

Nullable<int>

...

Nullable<int>

Data types that are prefixed with "nullable" (for example, nullable<int>) accept null value. Most data types are not nullable in this API framework, so this data type allows you to accept null for a non-nullable type. By default, nullable types are strings, objects, and arrays.

TimeSpan

Represents a period of time. Possible values are: 

  • 00:00 - 23:59 (hours and minutes)

  • 00:00:00 - 23:59:59 (hours, minutes, and seconds. This is the default format)

  • 00:00:00.000 - 23:59:59.999 (hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds)

  • 1.00:00:00 - 99999.23:59:59 (date, hours, minutes, seconds)

  • 1.00:00:00.000 - 99999.23:59:59.999 (date, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds)

Uri

A representation of a resource available on the internet or intranet. This data type is nullable.
