separated by spaces to OR them, e.g.
`field: "EnumVal1 EnumVal2"` or `field: "Enum.EnumVal1 Enum.EnumVal2"`.
When parsing JSON, it recognizes the following escape codes in strings:
- `\n` - linefeed.
- `\t` - tab.
- `\r` - carriage return.
- `\b` - backspace.
- `\f` - form feed.
- `\"` - double quote.
- `\\` - backslash.
- `\/` - forward slash.
- `\uXXXX` - 16-bit unicode code point, converted to the equivalent UTF-8
representation.
- `\xXX` - 8-bit binary hexadecimal number XX. This is the only one that is
not in the JSON spec (see http://json.org/), but is needed to be able to
encode arbitrary binary in strings to text and back without losing
information (e.g. the byte 0xFF can't be represented in standard JSON).
It also generates these escape codes back again when generating JSON from a
binary representation.
