where postcode is shown as a String value:
It would be nice if this inconsistency will be resolved as otherwise it forces client side to make extra moves for correct deserialization.
Also, an API description regarding which values might be provided in the fields (especially if the null is permissible) is much appreciated.
According to documentation the POSTCODE value is a string, but sometimes the API response returns the POSTCODE value as an Integer.
Not sure if error or if I am missing something.
