AttributeEncoderCommonAttributes

NameTypeDefaultDescription
encodeTypebooleantrueControls whether the output form will contain an encoder-specific indication of the data type of the values. In XML, this takes the form of xsi:type attributes, which greatly bloat the size and generally should be avoided for string-valued data. The default is to continue to output the information, but we suggest disabling it in newer deployments and after testing against existing services.
