Byte datatype

[oligot]

Hi,

I would like to have a small clarification about datatypes, as specified in the wiki page :
https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki/datatypes
is the byte datatype a signed or unsigned one ?

Thanks,

Olivier

A byte is 8 bits. How you interpret them is up to you.

But indeed: should the spec. prescribe how to encode and transfer a byte...? Should 1000 0001 be:
0x81
129
−126

It's all possible....

Indeed all is possible, does that mean the service should be able to parse all these options?
I think it would be more reasonnable to decide on one representation… I like signed bytes which, to me, seem more coherent with the other numeric types defined in Swagger.
