 * **0: Null** - Length is 0, value is empty.
 * **1: Boolean** - Length is 1, value is 0 or 1.
-* **2: Integer** - Length is 0, 1, 2, 4 or 8. Value is an integer with the specified length in bytes.
-* **3: Floating point** - Length is 4 or 8. Value is a floating point number with the specified length in bytes.
-* **4: String** - Length is 0, 1, 2 or 4. Value is an integer with the specified length in bytes, followed by a string with its length in bytes given by the integer.
-* **5: Raw** - Length is 0, 1, 2 or 4. Value is an integer with the specified length in bytes, followed by raw binary data with its length in bytes given by the integer.
-* **6: List** - Length is 0. The value consists of zero or more objects of any type followed by an end object.
-* **7: Dictionary** - Length is 0. The value consists of zero or more key-value pairs followed by an end object. The keys must be strings and the values may be of any type.
