EXAMPLE

Here we get details for a target document with 

CODE
{
  "preview": {
    "canPreview": true,
    "needActivate": false,
    "canActivate": false,
    "previewer": "CodeMirror",
    "domain": "PLAINTEXT",
    "baseurl": {
      "canEdit": false,
      "value": null
    },
    "encoding": {
      "canEdit": true,
      "value": "utf-8",
      "options": [
        {
          "v": "UTF-8",
          "t": "UTF-8"
        },
        {
          "v": "UTF-16",
          "t": "UTF-16"
        }
        {
          "v": "WINDOWS-1258",
          "t": "WINDOWS-1258"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "file": {
    "canSet": true,
    "name": "html.txt",
    "exists": true,
    "date": "2017-02-05T22:57:24.7403048Z",
    "size": 502
  },
  "segments": {
    "total": 8,
    "lastchange": "2017-02-06T07:08:46.422Z",
    "missing": 0,
    "errors": 0
  },
  "hl": null
}

 

EXAMPLE HIGHLIGHTING

Some formats (Microsoft Word) include options for highlighting errors etc. in color. In that case the hl node is filled in:

CODE
{
	...


	"hl": {
		"editors": [{
			"v": 7,
			"f": "cyan"
		},
		{
			"v": 6,
			"f": "green"
		},
		{
			"v": 9,
			"f": "magenta"
		},
		{
			"v": 2,
			"f": "yellow"
		},
		{
			"v": 3,
			"f": "red"
		},
		{
			"v": 5,
			"f": "grey"
		}],
		"errors": "red"
