Array

An array of items of the same type

Specification

spec

• Describes the data structure of array items.

• Parameters inside spec use the syntax of the regular parameters.

Available types:

Type	Specification
object	The output is an array of primitive types. If the object contains a name, it will be ignored.
array	The output is a complex array of Objects.

Object

{
	"name": "tags",
	"spec": {
		"type": "text",
		"label": "Tag"
	},
	"type": "array",
	"label": "Tags"
}

When no spec is provided, the array will behave as a primitive array of strings. However, the preferred approach is setting the spec to {"type": "text"}.
