JSON Risk instrument data types

Boolean

Indicates true or false. JSON risk accepts

• JSON true and false literals
• JSON numbers, while 0 represents false and any other number represents true
• JSON strings while "true", "yes", "y" and their uppercase or partial uppercase equivalents represent true and anything else represents false. Leading and trailing whiltespace is ignored.

Boolean vector

A vector of Boolean values, as used in, e.g., the attribute interest_capitalization. JSON risk accepts

• a single Boolean value as specified above, representing a single-entry vector
• JSON arrays of Boolean values as specified above
• JSON strings containing string representations of Boolean values as specified above, separated by one or more whitespace characters. The string "true FALSE 0 1 yEs y" is a valid example.

Date

A value representing a calendar date. JSON risk accepts

• Javascript date objects such as the one you get with new Date(2020,0,27)
• JSON strings beginning with a DD.MM.YYYY style date such as "27.01.2020"
• JSON strings beginning with a YYYY-MM-DD style date such as "2020-01-27
• JSON strings beginning with a YYYY/MM/DD style date such as "2020/01/27

Consequently, a valid date is created when calling JSON.parse() on a JSON encoded date like "2020-01-27T23:28:56.782Z". All examples represent January 27th, 2020 obviously.

Date vector

A vector of Date values, as used in, e.g., the attribute conditions_valid_until. JSON risk accepts

• a single Date value as specified above, representing a single-entry vector
• JSON arrays of Date values as specified above
• JSON strings containing string representations of Date values as specified above, separated by one or more whitespace characters. The string "2020-01-01 2020/02/01 01.03.2020" is a valid example.

Natural

A numeric integer with zero or positive value. JSON risk accepts

• JSON numbers such as 0, 1, 2 et cetera
• JSON strings that the JavaScript parseFloat function converts to a natural number, "0", "1" or "2.000" are valid examples.

Number

A numeric value. JSON risk accepts

• JSON numbers such as 0.1, 1, -10.99 et cetera
• JSON strings that can be converted to numbers by calling the JavaScript parseFloat() function.

For convenience, any parseable string the last non-whitespace character of which contains the percentage sign is interpreted as a percentage. For example "3.50%", "3.5 %" and "0.035" all represent the same value.

Number vector

A vector of Number values, as used in, e.g., the attribute fixed_rate. JSON risk accepts

• a single Number value as specified above, representing a single-entry vector
• JSON arrays of Number values as specified above
• JSON strings containing string representations of Number values as specified above, separated by one or more whitespace characters. The string "0.01 1.5% 2%" is a valid example.

Period string

A JSON string representing a period. JSON risk accepts any string that

• the JavaScript parseInt() function converts into an integer and
• that is ended by "y", "m", "w" or "d" or their uppercase equivalents.

The letters represent years, months, weeks and days, respectively. The strings "2d", "30W" and "16Y" are valid examples.

String

A JSON string.
