Example:

$message = ['_' => 'message', 'out' => Bool, 'mentioned' => Bool, 'media_unread' => Bool, 'silent' => Bool, 'post' => Bool, 'id' => int, 'from_id' => int, 'to_id' => Peer, 'fwd_from' => MessageFwdHeader, 'via_bot_id' => int, 'reply_to_msg_id' => int, 'date' => int, 'message' => 'string', 'media' => MessageMedia, 'reply_markup' => ReplyMarkup, 'entities' => [MessageEntity, MessageEntity], 'views' => int, 'edit_date' => int];

Or, if you're into Lua:

message={_='message', out=Bool, mentioned=Bool, media_unread=Bool, silent=Bool, post=Bool, id=int, from_id=int, to_id=Peer, fwd_from=MessageFwdHeader, via_bot_id=int, reply_to_msg_id=int, date=int, message='string', media=MessageMedia, reply_markup=ReplyMarkup, entities={MessageEntity}, views=int, edit_date=int}
