Specific information:

• The id attribute is generated if not provided by the caller, if the caller provides it, the caller much ensure it’s globally unique and consists of maximum 36 characters.
• If the id attribute is not provided a new favorite will always be created, if id is provided a new favorite will be created if no previous favorite with the same id exists, if a previous favorite with same id exists it will be updated.
• The type attribute have a special value “local” which indicates that this favorite refers to a local menu in the specific controller or other controllers of the same model. See documentation of item attributes for more information of other available types.
• The contents of the inner params structure is completely controller customizable if “type”=”local”. For the other type values it is expected that a controller can issue a Content Access Protocol findItems request with the attributes provided in the params structure.
• All favorite types can have childs which refer to them with a “parentId” attribute
