Example JSON representation​

In some use cases, such as providing inputs and returning outputs in REST API deployments of workflows, the JSON representation must be used. Here's an example for such a representation.

{
  "table": {
    "height": 1,
    "width": 6,
    "columns": [
      {
        "name": "Age",
        "index": 0,
        "type": "Real",
        "data": [19]
      },
      {
        "name": "Passenger Class",
        "index": 1,
        "type": "Nominal",
        "data": ["Third"]
      },
      {
        "name": "Sex",
        "index": 2,
        "type": "Nominal",
        "data": ["Female"]
      },
      {
