     * - Integer Parameter: The value must be an integer number,

     * - String Parameter: Any value is accepted, including an empty string.

     * - String List Parameter: If the string starts with `[` (ignoring whitespace)

     *   If the string does not start with `[`, then it behaves like an
     *   ordinary String Parameter:  Any value is accepted, including an empty string.
