+### Object Parameters
+
+Parameters can be JSON objects and validated using [JSON Schema](#parameter-and-output-schema)
+
+In the example below, the config parameter is defined as an object, with a default value.
+At runtime, the value of the parameter is saved to a file located at /cnab/app/config.json.
+
+```yaml
+parameters:
+  - name: config
+    type: object
+    path: /cnab/app/config.json
+    default:
+      logLevel: 11
+      debug: true
+```
+
+A user can pass a different value to the bundle using the --param flag which accepts either a file path or a string value:
+
+```
+porter install --param '{"logLevel":2}'
+porter install --param ./config.json
+```
+
 ### File Parameters
 
 Porter supports passing a file as a parameter to a bundle.
