Case Sensitivity Rules

Case sensitivity for keys, keywords, and type names.

Internet Object is case-sensitive throughout. Keys, keywords, and type names must be written with exact casing.

Keys

Member keys are distinct by case — Name and name are two different fields:

Name: string, name: string
---
{ Name: Alice, name: alice }

The literal keywords must be written exactly as defined. Their accepted forms are:

Meaning

Not accepted

T, true

t, True, TRUE

false

F, false

f, False

null

N, null

n, Null

infinity

Inf, -Inf

active: bool
---
~ T        # ✓
~ true     # ✓
~ t        # ✗ not-a-bool

Built-in type names are lowercase: string, int, uint8, bool, datetime, decimal, and so on. String or INT are not recognized types.
