##### `m.room.power_levels` events accept values as strings In order to maintain backwards compatibility with early implementations, each of the integer-valued properties within [`m.room.power_levels`](/client-server-api#mroompower_levels) events can be encoded as strings instead of integers. This includes the nested values within the `events`, `notifications` and `users` properties. For example, the following is a valid `m.room.power_levels` event in this room version: ```json { "content": { "ban": "50", "events": { "m.room.power_levels": "100" }, "events_default": "0", "state_default": "50", "users": { "@example:localhost": "100" }, "users_default": "0" }, "origin_server_ts": 1432735824653, "room_id": "!jEsUZKDJdhlrceRyVU:example.org", "sender": "@example:example.org", "state_key": "", "type": "m.room.power_levels" } ``` When the value is representative of an integer, they must be the following format: * a single base 10 integer, no float values or decimal points, optionally with any number of leading zeroes (`"100"`, `"000100"`); * optionally prefixed with a single `-` or `+` character before the integer (`"+100"`, `"-100"`). * optionally with any number of leading or trailing whitespace characters (`" 100 "`, `" 00100 "`, `" +100 "`, `" -100 "`);
