Summary0005482: JSON mapping of Unions not specified well
Description

There is no description of what "SwitchField" should be, besides that "The identifier for the field in the Union which is encoded as a JSON number.".
Based on the example given, if the reader is smart enough, he would look into Binary or XML mappings, and would make a guess that SwitchField is 1-based index of the union field, and that 0 has special meaning, but this information is missing from the JSON mapping.

Also, the case of an empty Union needs to be described. Is Value still present when SwitchField is 0, and if so, what does it contain?

Added text:
The valid values for this field follow the conventions defined in 5.2.8.
If the value is 0, this field and the Value field are not present (i.e. the of of an empty Union).
