Whether `int128` or `uint128` are defined depends on your the C implementation you are using on your host. If 128-bit integers are not supported or you need to read in bigger integers, you can simply use a smaller int type and increase the `count` attribute accordingly.<br/>
The `FT::conditional` tag for a type means that the actual content of the node will depend on a value. The attribute `condition` will provide what that condition is. The value for the condition should be provided as text for the different nodes that define what the actual contents should be.<br/>
