How to handle missing, empty, or default strings in each part of JSON template.
Factors

• The default template will value both keys and value pairs to show users what information to put where and in what format
• What happens if different parts of JSON template are left out entirely. Can the plot still work?
• Are there any mandatary parts of the JSON template?
• What strings are default placeholders that tell the plotting code to do nothing? What happens if they aren't there?
• How do the end-user developers know what options are appropriate besides the default value in the template if options are two strings?
