Question:
Which characters can be used in an attribute name? - FIWARE Orion

Description:
I'd like to know details about character set and character code that can be used in an attribute name. I tried to create an entity that has an attribute name "日本語". I was able to create it in case of NGSIv1 but not in case of NGSIv2.

In case of NGSIv1 API,

Request:

(curl localhost:1026/v1/updateContext -sS --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-header 'Accept: application/json' -d @ <<EOF) | jq .
{
"contextElements": [
{
"type": "Test",
"isPattern": "false",
"id": "Testv1",
"attributes": [

,

]
}
],
"updateAction": "APPEND"
}
EOF

Response:

{
"contextResponses": [
{
"contextElement": {
"type": "Test",
"isPattern": "false",
"id": "Testv1",
"attributes": [

,

]
},
"statusCode":

}
]
}

In case of NGSIv2 API,

Request:

(curl localhost:1026/v2/entities -s -S -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
d @ <<EOF) | jq .
{
"id": "Test1",
"type": "Test",
"japanese":

,
"日本語":

}
EOF
