+Dynamic API
+-----------
+
+The nature of the API request and response is meant to be model driven and dynamic. They both share the same definition.
+
+The actionName, under the actionIdentifiers refers to the name of a Workflow (see workflow)
+
+The content of the payload is what is fully dynamic / model driven.
+
+The first top level element will always be either $actionName-request for a request or $actionName-response for a response.
+
+Then the content within this element is fully based on the workflow input and output.
+
+Here is how the a generic request and response look like.
