RFID tags

This document describes the JSON data structure for an RFID tag that can be used to uniquely identify an object that has been tagged with an RFID tag. The data structure includes information such as the Electronic Product Code (EPC) of the tag, the frequency of the tag, and the location of the tag's antenna.

Data structure

The following table shows the key, type, and description of each field in the data structure for an RFID tag:

KeyType**Description **
