 ### Specific types
+#### Boolean
+Airbyte boolean type represents one of the two values `true` or `false` and they are are lower case. Note that values that evaluates to true or false such as data type String `"true"` or `"false"` or Integer like `1` or `0` are not accepted by the Schema.
 
 #### Dates and timestamps
 Airbyte has three temporal types: `date`, `timestamp_with_timezone`, and `timestamp_without_timezone`. These are represented as strings with specific `format` (either `date` or `date-time`).
