 * Hello
    Where do I find all the information regarding the syntax? Most of all 
   I’m interested of the “google_map” field type, by the way. And mostest of the
   most 😉 – how do i pass the lang and long fields entered in the previous fields
   on the backend admin. Here’s the screenshot:

 * 
    and the syntax is this:
 *     ```
       		{
       		"key": "field_975841be322c6",
       		"label": "Map",
       		"name": "map",
       		"type": "google_map",
       		"instructions": "",
       		"required": 0,
       		"center_lat": "",
       		"center_lng": "",
       		"zoom": "",
       		"height": "",
       		"conditional_logic": 0,
       		"wrapper": {
       		"width": "50%",
       		"class": "",
       		"id": ""
                   },
                   "default_value": "",
                   "placeholder": "",
                   "maxlength": "",
                   "rows": "",
                   "new_lines": "",
                   "show_column": 0,
                   "show_column_weight": 1000,
                   "allow_quickedit": 0,
                   "allow_bulkedit": 0
       		}
       ```
   
 * and i know it is somehow…not the right one.

 * Hi! 👋
 * > Where do I find all the information regarding the syntax?
 * This could be a pretty loaded question and answer. There are a lot of resources
   available and a lot of articles, posts that deal with that. Unfortunately, these
   forums don’t go into that. You may find some information here: [https://spring.io/understanding/JSON](https://spring.io/understanding/JSON)

 * How is that being created? Is it from a plugin, a theme, a combination of the
   two?

 * I thought the json for the wp-json is somehow restricted
    for example, the field
   types are limited in number and those field types has their relevant keys, like
   for example these are the keys and values for the “google_maps”, but i bet there
   could be more which i don’t know:
 *     ```
                   "name": "map",
                   "type": "google_map",
                   "instructions": "",
                   "required": 0,
       			"center_lat": "field_975841be30ac6",
       			"center_lng": "field_975841be31ac6",
       			"zoom": "",
       			"height": "",
                   "conditional_logic": 0,
       ```
   
 * If I’m building the custom post type via JSON, i suppose there could be some 
   kind of documentation for the available properties.
