The collection can be returned in JSON or PVSchema format using the format query parameter or by setting the Accept header to application/json or application/pvschema, respectively. The default is to return JSON.

See PVSchema for more details on the structure and content of PVSchema.

Invalid optional properties attributes in a JSON request are ignored.
