For the ReversibleEncoding, LocalizedText values shall be encoded as a JSON object with the fields shown in Table H.5.

Table H.5 – JSON Object Definition for a LocalizedText

Name	Description
Locale	The Locale portion of LocalizedText values shall be encoded as a JSON string
Text	The Text portion of LocalizedText values shall be encoded as a JSON string.

For the NonReversibleEncoding, LocalizedText value shall be encoded as a JSON string containing the Text component.

Decoders that support the NonReversibleEncoding use the JSON datatype to detect which encoding is used. A JSON object is the current encoding; a JSON string means it is the NonReversibleEncoding.
