+              The encoding format determines how element data is run-time encoded within a particular element independent of the
+                transport encoding.
+              These values are specified in the "encoding" attribute for elements. Not all encoding formats
+              are supported by every wireline protocol implementation.  Additionally, custom encodings may be
+              defined to support application defined encodings.   Any non-standard encodings must be registered (to avoid collision)
+              and approved by the appropriate approving authority (e.g. Comtech). Values from 0 to 255 are reserved
+              for standard-encodings. Custom encodings start at 256(0x0100) and extend to 65535 (0xFFFF).\n
+                \n
+                This is not the same as defining in XID a raw datatype or json datatype which are NOT changeable are run-time.
+                \n
+              Example: \n
+                \t The message XMF but a field is defined to be encoded as JSON.\n
+                \t Likewise, the message is JSON, but a field is run-time encoded to be XMF.\n
+                \n
+              Data encoding format type. If 0, value is not encoded. See ResrvedEncodingFormats
+              for a list of standard format specifiers.
