| value | service_info | The vapi.metadata.metamodel.service_info instance that corresponds to service_id. |
| value.name | string | Dot separated name of the service element. The segments in the name reflect the organization of the APIs. The format of each segment is lower case with underscores. Each underscore represents a word boundary. If there are acronyms in the word, the capitalization is preserved. This format makes it easy to translate the segment into a different naming convention. |
| value.operations | list | Metamodel information of all the operation elements contained in the service element. The key in the key/value pairs is the identifier of the operation element and the value in the key/value pairs is the metamodel information for the operation element. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the key in the field key/value pairs must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.operation. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the key in the field key/value pairs will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.operation.List of {"key": string, "value": operation_info} |
