 ```
 * *discoveryUrl* parameter should point to a resource listing url as per [Swagger Spec](https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki)
 * *dom_id parameter* is the the id of a dom element inside which SwaggerUi will put the user interface for swagger
+* *booleanValues* SwaggerUI renders boolean data types as a dropdown. By default it provides a 'true' and 'false' string as the possible choices. You can use this parameter to change the values in dropdown to be something else, for example 0 and 1 by setting booleanValues to new Array(0, 1)
 * *docExpansion* controls how the API listing is displayed. It can be set to 'none' (default), 'list' (shows operations for each resource), or 'full' (fully expanded: shows operations and their details)
 * *onComplete* is a callback function parameter which can be passed to be notified of when SwaggerUI has completed rendering successfully.
 * *onFailure* is a callback function parameter which can be passed to be notified of when SwaggerUI encountered a failure was unable to render.
