 Christopher Andrews,                                # string
 [e-mail],                      # email

 2021-02-09                                          # date
 06:30:00                                            # time
 2020-12-30T12:39:48.545                             #datetime
}
  

Here the, name is of string type and will only accept strings. Similarly, emailId, profileUrl, journyDate departureTime and bookingDatetimedate are of different types such as email, url, date, time, datetime. Therefore they will only accept values with the defined types for the respective variable.
