## Chart Parameters
Chart parameters are stored as a JSON encoded string the `slices.params` column and are often referenced throughout the code as form-data. Currently the form-data is neither versioned nor typed as thus is somewhat free-formed. Note in the future there may be merit in using something like [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/) to both annotate and validate the JSON object in addition to using a Mypy `TypedDict` (introduced in Python 3.8) for typing the form-data in the backend. This section serves as a potential primer for that work.

The following tables provide a non-exhaustive list of the various fields which can be present in the JSON object grouped by the Explorer pane sections. These values were obtained by extracting the distinct fields from a legacy deployment consisting of tens of thousands of charts and thus some fields may be missing whilst others may be deprecated.
