If the state event has no ``state_key``, it can be omitted from the path. These requests
**cannot use transaction IDs** like other ``PUT`` paths because they cannot be differentiated

This specification outlines several standard event types, all of which are
prefixed with ``m.``
State messages
--------------
- m.room.name
- m.room.topic
- m.room.member
- m.room.config
- m.room.invite_join
``m.room.name``
Summary:
Set the human-readable name for the room.
Type:
State event
JSON format:
``{ "name" : "string" }``
Example:
``{ "name" : "My Room" }``
Description:
A room has an opaque room ID which is not human-friendly to read. A room alias is
human-friendly, but not all rooms have room aliases. The room name is a human-friendly
string designed to be displayed to the end-user. The room name is not *unique*, as
multiple rooms can have the same room name set. The room name can also be set when
creating a room using ``/createRoom`` with the ``name`` key.
What are they, when are they used, what do they contain, how should they be used.
Link back to explanatory sections (e.g. invite/join/leave sections for m.room.member)
``m.room.topic``
Summary:
Set a topic for the room.
Type:
State event
JSON format:
``{ "topic" : "string" }``
Example:
``{ "topic" : "Welcome to the real world." }``
Description:
A topic is a short message detailing what is currently being discussed in the room.
It can also be used as a way to display extra information about the room, which may
not be suitable for the room name.
``m.room.member``
Summary:
The current membership state of a user in the room.
Type:
State event
JSON format:
``{ "membership" : "enum[ invite|join|leave|ban ]" }``
Example:
``{ "membership" : "join" }``
Description:
The membership state of a user is automatically set when using the membership APIs:
``/rooms/<room id>/invite``, ``/rooms/<room id>/join`` and ``/rooms/<room id>/leave``.
See the "Rooms" section for how to use those APIs.
``m.room.config``
Summary:
The room config.
Type:
State event
JSON format:
TODO
Example:
TODO
Description:
TODO
``m.room.invite_join``

``m.room.message``
Summary:
A message.
Type:
Non-state event
JSON format:
``{ "msgtype": "string" }``
Example:
``{ "msgtype": "m.text", "body": "Testing" }``
Description:
This event is used when sending messages in a room. Messages are not limited to be text.
The ``msgtype`` key outlines the type of message, e.g. text, audio, image, video, etc.
Whilst not required, the ``body`` key SHOULD be used with every kind of ``msgtype`` as
a fallback mechanism when a client cannot render the message. For more information on
the types of messages which can be sent, see "m.room.message msgtypes".
``m.room.message.feedback``
Summary:
A receipt for a message.
Type:
Non-state event
JSON format:
``{ "type": "enum [ delivered|read ]", "target_event_id": "string" }``
Example:
``{ "type": "delivered", "target_event_id": "e3b2icys" }``
Description:
Feedback events are events sent to acknowledge a message in some way. There are two
supported acknowledgements: ``delivered`` (sent when the event has been received) and
``read`` (sent when the event has been observed by the end-user). The ``target_event_id``
should reference the ``m.room.message`` event being acknowledged.
Non-state messages
