Please document the different syntaxes for line ranges

The properties at

scanoss.java/src/main/java/com/scanoss/dto/ScanFileDetails.java

Lines 42 to 44 in 8598c47

	private final String lines;
	@SerializedName("oss_lines")
	private final String ossLines;

seem to support different string-based syntaxes for line ranges, or even lists of line ranges. What I've seen so far is e.g. "42" and "66-99", but apparently also something like "32-105,117-199,210-266,278-488,500-781,793-937,951-1051,1062-1081" can be returned by the API. Please document all of the above, plus anything else that is to be expected.

As a side note, ideally the data model would be more typed here to begin with, and use an array of start and end lines which each are integers, instead of a string that the user of this library needs to parse on its own.

Hi @sschuberth ,

Thanks for the feedback!
For the current version of this JSON schema we are keeping it as a string (comma separated). We are working on a new structure and when that is published it will be fully typed.
We will share this info once it has been finalised.
