2.2.1 ABNF Data Formats

The WSRM Protocol specifies Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) data formats for strings that are used in messages and method parameters. These formats are defined using syntax specified in the ABNF standard [RFC5234]. Basic rules that are defined in the standard appear in upper case. Literal alphabetic characters in ABNF are case-insensitive unless specified otherwise.
