# Members

contentType?: string;

The Content-Type for encoding a specific property. Default value depends on the property type: for string with format being binary – application/octet-stream; for other primitive types – text/plain; for object - application/json; for array – the default is defined based on the inner type. The value can be a specific media type (e.g. application/json), a wildcard media type (e.g. image/*), or a comma-separated list of the two types.

headers?: OpenSpecHash<OS3Header>;

A map allowing additional information to be provided as headers, for example Content-Disposition. Content-Type is described separately and SHALL be ignored in this section. This property SHALL be ignored if the request body media type is not a multipart.

style?: string;

Describes how a specific property value will be serialized depending on its type. See Parameter Object for details on the [style](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/3.0.1.md#parameterStyle) property. The behavior follows the same values as query parameters, including default values. This property SHALL be ignored if the request body media type is not application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

explode?: boolean;

When this is true, property values of type array or object generate separate parameters for each value of the array, or key-value-pair of the map. For other types of properties this property has no effect. When [style](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/3.0.1.md#parameterStyle) is form, the default value is true. For all other styles, the default value is false. This property SHALL be ignored if the request body media type is not application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

allowReserved?: boolean;

Determines whether the parameter value SHOULD allow reserved characters, as defined by RFC3986 :/?#[]@!$&'()*+,;= to be included without percent-encoding. The default value is false. This property SHALL be ignored if the request body media type is not application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
