#' @title Cast boolean
#' @description Cast boolean values
#' @param format no options (other than the default)

#' @param options specify additioanl true values or/and falsevalues

#' @export
#' @details 
#' In the physical representations of data where boolean values are represented with strings, 
#' the values set in \code{trueValues} and \code{falseValues} are to be cast to their logical representation as booleans. 
#' \code{trueValues} and \code{falseValues} are lists which can be customised to user need. 
#' The default values for these are in the additional properties section below.
#' 
#' The boolean field can be customised with these additional properties:
#' \itemize{
#' \item{trueValues: ["true", "True", "TRUE", "1"]}
#' \item{falseValues: ["false", "False", "FALSE", "0"]}
#' }
